As opposed to the guys like me ; “all the gear and no idea” or as we say around these parts “fur coat and nae knickers “ 🤣
I remember lining up for an MTB race years ago. This dude shows up looking all cool with some of the nicest equipment you could want. Didn't really talk to anyone. We couldn't.....because after the first 100 yards we were out of earshot ahead of him.
I did get my butt handed to me by a guy with gear so clean and new, it was disgusting. But man was he fast. Happened to be a bald guy I nicknamed Mr. Clean......hate that guy.
