Last MTB pic at home before Leaving for South Africa  - Escaping Winter: South African Sun - Mountain Biking Pictures - Vital MTB

Hometown, Bend, Oregon. One of the last MTB shots I took before my trip to South Africa. Anka Martin (my wife) and I left on December 24th and I managed to get this sweet shot of Jamie Goldman and Santa in his back yard just in time for Christmas. Since I'm not keen on dressing in my snow gear to ride my bike we hopped on the 30+ hour flight from Bend to Cape Town, South Africa. Credit: Sven Martin

    Dear Spomer,
    Please impose an embargo on Sven's picture posting unless the weather in SA is consisting of monsoons and blizzards. These luscious photos are making the suckers north of the equator more cabin fever-esque, leaving us with no other option but to post countless threads on RM about head angles, riding kits, and which neck brace is better based on color.
    Thanks,
    The Interweb.
