• My glib comment really didn't deserve those careful, considered responses, I was being silly probably because I'm jealous I don't have the time to tour or do adventure cycling. I want those trousers (and 3 weeks on the bike with a reason to wear them).

    @dancing james I will say that growing up in the Rocky Mountains in the 90s means I am philosophicslly opposed to downhill MTBing. If you want to go down a mountain you should have to ride up. Same reason xcross country skiing is better, cheaper and offers moral superiority
