YACF jersey pictures

Pre-ride on the MTB on a very cold and icy day.

I'm glad nothing's changed.

Thread Bump.


Long-sleeve (summer) purple, and Long-Sleeve (winter) blue.  With bonus waterbottle.  Hard hats were mandatory, because of Creswell Crags' elfin safety regime.  (OK, we forgot to take them off once outside.)

The left bank of the pond is Nottinghamshire, and the right bank is Derbyshire.  As if anyone's looking at the scenery.

^^^ That's a nice photo.  Who is the other yacf type person? 

I'm hoping you're not doing something similar to Charlotte's photo stranger project whereby you accost passing photogenic ladies and make them wear a yacf top and a silly hat whilst you cuddle them in front of a camera on a timer.  I think you'll find people have been arrested for less

It's the lovely tiptop. Lucky chap, that rower40.

The lovely Tiptop, who is lovely.

Hard hats at Cresswell Crags?  What were you up to?

[rower40]

We were investigating the Cave Art, discovered in 2003, taking the guided tour from the Visitor Centre (where they lent us the bump-caps).  Not so much "painting" (as the caves are open to the outdoors such that any pigments would have degraded long ago), but some scratches which are vaguely reminiscent of the shapes of animals.  When seen from the right angle, in the right light, and with a vivid imagination.

Having said that, the archeologists are all extremely excited about this, as it's the only accredited ice-age cave art finds in Britain.  This should support Creswell Crags' submission to become a World Heritage Site, along with the evidence that suggests that Neanderthal Man was there - the furthest north that he's been found.

And we'd ridden from Derby (30 miles plus).  So I was wondering about putting this in the "Have you been out today?" thread.

Ah, ice age smut

The horse bone carving in the museum is very good though.

, along with the evidence that suggests that Neanderthal Man was there - the furthest north that he's been found.

he's still alive & well,& can be found in a variety of self propelled tin boxes with a wheel at each corner

I didn't know about the find at CressCrags...thanks for that.
Allow me to congratulate & welcome you publicly to yacf-lucky-chap contingent

It's the lovely tiptop.

True.

Lucky chap, that rower40.

So so so true. It's all gone horribly right.

No Tiptop in this picture, I'm afraid, but there are thirteen jerseys.  No blue, orange or green, though we do have them in our household too.

Have you broken into TimO's garden?   

[clarion]

I wasn't aware Tim was a member of the Clarion 1895!

Boots!

When Clarion heard the instruction to "String 'em up", he misunderstood.

POTD!

Have you broken into TimO's garden?   

No, but our two households being in close proximity does mean there's distinct possibility of a South London YACF Jersey Event Horizon forming, as the weight of jerseys causes an implosion of lycra into a Black Multi-coloured Hole.

If I hung jerseys out on a line, that far above the ground, you wouldn't be able to see them for plants.  That garden is a paragon of perfection compared to mine.  Triffids would run away from my garden, for fear of what may be hiding there!

I'm sure I don't know what you two are on about!

Glad to see that the consumer society is being so well supported in your household 

But do you realise that for the cost of all those jerseys you could have bought a Rapha one ?

It's not a garden.  It's a cat leisure facility.

Yes.  I probably could.  And then not ridden my bike so much (like most Rapha owners)

Dolt.

A bit of a harsh reaction for a tongue in cheek comment

Yes, but since there are 4 sizes on the line, we might have trouble sharing one Rapha one!

I suspected as much
