Bloody hell - I clicked on that and was confronted by a big picture of James, another click and even scarier ... a big pic of me

I was just about to comment that it’s a nice looking site but afraid that may now be taken out of context

Any idea what the name means? I get the oui could be yes but Evan?

Why « Evanoui »?
Evanoui is a french word that has a double meaning. Literally, it means « to pass out », « to hit the wall ». But in a more poetic way, it is « to vanish », and more specifically « to fade into nature ».

Have a peep under the "philosophy" tag.... "Why « Evanoui »?

Quite poetic .

Haven't spotted Stu's fair countenance yet though....

If you've seen James's bit, I'm fairly hard to miss

Is that you in the Bearbones shirt walking up the hill?

Is that you in the Bearbones shirt walking up the hill?

No, that's 'Mr Nordy'.

I'm not really in any position to take the piss. I've managed to pile on 2 stone this winter and have done bugger all riding. I'll be out on the "get fit quick" singlespeed later.

Not with you ... 'Mr Nordy' isn't code with something else. The chap in the BB jersey is actually Mr Nordqvist of this parish.

Wouldn't have said I was fat...
It was a very steep hill/mountain...
I had just got off too take a picture...
I thought it would add more drama to the picture somebody walking...
Etc....etc....

Got you now - it was hardly a "where's Wally" situation was it , me eyesight's going in me old age.

[jameso]

Ha.. forgot about that, seems the site's been a while in the making, looks good (aside from pics of some of the riders! )

"Even Andy Cox has got sponsored and become a role model for bikepackers everywhere." - that should have a smiley on the end, in case Andy's reading this : )

My brain read this as ennui, which is probably a metaphor for my brain towards the amount of digital bikepacking occurring.

Or rather, my lack of physical bikepacking of late.

Looks like you've been dribbling on yourself there Stu. :) Good job!

I think I'd just poured a waterbottle over my head but if anyone asks, I'm going for the dribbling ... sounds much more me

When I first looked at the shot I thought that you and James were holding hands

[Bearbonesnorm]

It's a big climb Bob ... we were emotional

Well I don't look too happy do I, was it something you said?

[Bearbonesnorm]

Perhaps? Don't know which picture was taken first but this one might fill in the gaps - thanks to Cyril for the picture (kind of).

[whitestone]

What brought the smile on?

[Bearbonesnorm]

Bob, I'm starting to realise that every possible expression I can conjure, no matter what emotion provokes it, it will always convey the message 'FFS'.
