I'm loving this thread.
Besides, it wouldn't be audacious if success were guaranteed.

We at Rupha don't hide behind spoiler tags.

Some people say I'm self-obsessed but that's enough about them.

These were taken on Leggett Pass, California & with a bit of photoshop (that I cannot do on tour) would fit nicely into this thread:





What on earth am I doing here on this beautiful day?! This is the only life I've got!!

I remember getting horribly held up driving down there in 2009 by a convoy consisting of a Viper, a Boxster and a Corvette, all with lurid non-factory paint jobs, Texas plates and drivers under the influence of President Eisenhower.

This thread is over 4 years old. And yet the images are still as fresh as ... ever.

I expect an anniversary jersey next June.

If you converted all the pics in the "it's the hope I can't take" thread to b/w, Rapha would probably buy them.  They're too miserable for Rupha.

I think you misunderstand the 'I can take the despair' thread. That's just an echo of the pop bands visiting Watford Gap at 2 am in the 1960s, and conveys the grit behind the glamour, but without the glamour.

I don't think Bovril at 1s/3d was very good value against tea at 6d.
