Well, it ain't Thursday, but. . .

April 1981. With the Thai National team on a ride from Bangkok to ChiangMai to celebrate the BiCentennial of the Chakri dynasty.

I'm on a brand new custom built Ritchey mtb (frame #133 ), delivered out of customs only days before this.

This is taken near the end of the ride.

Very early 80's fashion taste, too.
