Don’t know if you have found us yet El Cid, but we are on gallery 3 ref from 249-254.

I saw Paddy H on Gallery 2 ref 129 as well.

On the second site you’ve listed I am ref 847 and 848 so you may be able to work out where you are relative to that.

On the second site you’ve listed I am ref 847 and 848 so you may be able to work out where you are relative to that.

can’t find those…

Great shots Gizzajob, but I think you looked cooler in the black and white photo on the left, when you had a perm.

Here’s a teaser - What links your black & white perm picture with these sporting shots of yourself?

How about…
- poor set-up on bike - saddle too low and bar stem too long
- a generally crap bike which needs to be skipped in favour of one of those nice new JD’s carbon jobbies
- poor riding style, elbows and knees too far out
...am I close?

Good effort Gizzajob, but no cigar!!

The link is CRASHES

In the B&W photo, our hero is sprinting ahead on the cinder track in TV’s superstars, just after this photo is taken he has a spectacular wipeout.
The Gizzajob speedy White Rose photos are taken just shortly after the spot where 2 Langbar dogs caused your spectacular muddy wipeout this spring.

10 points to El Cid

I was thinking that, but looking at the old photo, the great man was sporting a bandage to his right elbow - does this not mean it was after his famous crash (for the youngsters out there, one of the great sporting moments of the seventies), and not before? I’m sure a Superstars officianado will put us right.

I think that bandage is to support an injury following his pathetic attempt at parallel bar push ups!

I think this just about sums up the White Rose long route, and no I haven’t photoshopped the gradient…

Coal Road

You have already climbed a really steep corner to get to the spot where you took that snap!!

Might leave it 12 months before going up there again!

Clever associating back there a bit there young El!

Try this one - Cacophany....... riding The White Rose and the White Star liner `TITANIC`

Cacophony.... was trained by the world’s finest engineering brains, modified using state of the art genetic processes. He was prepared specifically to crush all comers at the White Rose Classic.

The Titanic was always destined to sit astride an iceberg known as ‘The Coal Road’ and weep quietly.

Am I close?
