Found a truly old Giant Mountain bike today. Thought you might find the graphics entertaining.

These graphics scream 80's.

It's a Chinook, and I can find little historical information on that model. But it's a 23" frame, so I'll be switching everything off my 21" rigid MTB for this one. I don't race or anything, I just use a mountain bike for off-roading in the woods to take a few pictures now and again. So a pound or two of weight is not a concern. Paint has held up well in the intervening years.

Chain stay protector. Note period.

Managed to get up early, and the tent down dry

Plenty rain later though.. The midges felt at home @PeteXXX

Lots of ups and downs on coast road as it dips down to cross the inlets.

Still, all those hills, justify four types of cake apparently..

Mine host (I decided to book a room) presented me with this and lots of hot tea.
Despite looking like I'd arrived by river rather than road, and dripping all over the fine furnishings.

Might just stay here forever

@mudsticks So you didn't jettison our midgies into the Bay of Biscay!? 😅

Happy touring...

Thanks

I'll chuck em out on the way home perhaps.
But I'm getting rather attached to them.

They're very good listeners, and quite adept at navigation

Aquired some international cycling companions for the afternoon.. Spanish and Hungarian.
Wouldn't fancy these hills and wind with either the backpack or the Cape.. But each to their own.

Crossing the river into Galicia..

Not too early a start

Destination Galician hospitality achieved

Just before it started sheeting down.
The little ramp is to the cat flap 😊

That's what they tell you but really it's for the little people living in the wall.

My first thoughts too.

Too much fresh air and exercise over stimulating the imagination

Never seen the woods so full o' fungi as this autumn...
