I've been snapped a couple of times at Bury Hill. I thought it was just a chap who liked motorbikes until months later. Here's the lastest pic

Here I am serving on the motorcycle safety crew for AIDS/LifeCycle, a bicycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. On the 5th day, everyone dresses in red as there is a section of the route that when viewed from above looks like an AIDS ribbon. I found snazzy red stretchy pants to fit over my gear and yes, red pigtails for my helmet.

We were snapped by some geezer in Wales last week or maybe the week before, I think it was somewhere near the Horseshoe pass and that Ponderosa place which we stumbled upon by accident but we didn't stop.
