This is a pre emtb pic, early 2016 I believe.
We were so take with the golden hand that we thought we'd adorn it.
The pic got published in one of the bike mags.

My bike was a 2013 Norco Sight 1 and it's hanging off the thumb
Awesome pic.
I can’t quite put my finger on it but did you lend a hand or thumb your nose at indexing the smaller digits?
I’m so sry, this was a mit-stake.

There was a similar thread on Singletrackworld and i dont know if this is exclusive to the UK but the majority of the thread people said they mainly found Dildos and people having sex!

Hello, I've found quite a few things whilst out riding last year, an expensive riding crop, given to a neighbour, a pair of dragon sun glasses, I caught up with the rider who dropped them and returned them to him, I found a set of panniers that were sitting in the middle of a trail, I didn't open them, and was on my way to the guy that runs the trails when I saw a chap looking worried with an empty rack, I gave him a shout and returned his panniers, he opened them to get his iPhone and wallet out, and it was full, very full, he was v happy, but didn't give me a drink! Then I found a bag of white powder! No one claimed it. Haven't found owt yet this year.

Pictures of it didn’t happen. I guess I am riding in the wrong area.

I know what it is. 10 mins before that find, 6 riders passed the other way, the one at the back was pretty lively/friendly! (probably not so in 40 mins )I haven't seen them since that day, but il bump into them again 1 day, il ask them if they lost anything in September.

You would be surprised how often it happens

Ive seen the same couple twice in one week, right next to the first climb on the red trail at QECP in Petersfield, Hampshire, this was around 2pm on a weekday both times

50% of this couple wouldn't look exactly like you would it ??

Either way I hope you've cleared it with Peter, I'm not sure if I was him I'd be happy about people behaving like rabbits in my field.

Not a treasure as such but discovered this awesome little tunnel on a bridleway today. Had a nice 8ft ish drop in down a muddy bank and then you really had to crouch going in as it’s only around a 7ft floor to ceiling height. It’s on the main York to Newcastle line so had trains rattling the brickwork as they passed by overhead at silly speeds. As tunnels go, this was the freshest type of mint ?

That’s really awesome especially with the train passing over the top.

Did an amazingly interesting ride along the Danube, and the Essing Prunn rivers in Germany. There are loads of caves in the region, and the guy I was riding with had explored a few.
The first one had paintings in it. Probably fake, but interesting anyway.

Then later we explored a deep cave.
I always have a head light on my backpack and Robbie also had one and a torch so it was good to explore. we had to hide the bikes in the bush and climb up to the entrance.

Several bats in there.

AWESOME. How deep do they go? I also didn’t know Germany had Indians. ?

We went about 150m into the cave (500ft), till it came to a bit of a squeeze. I was in my cycling gear so didn't want to go through. But apparently it went quite a bit further before about a 30m (100ft) vertical sink-hole.
