was friendly and polite with no ‘race leader coming through’ shenanigans like last year

It was you that was saying that last year 😉

Good course, i made hardwork of the first half of each lap found it hard to get any rhythm but i put that down the mighty combo of a lack of skill and repeated poor line choice.

Second half was great fun and the natural sections were a good challenge. Could not have asked for better weather and the day was completed with awesome hog roast rolls at the end.

Had a cracing day, wasn’t as fit as I should have been so struggled on the climbs, really enjoyed the natural sections tho.

Here’s some of my pics from the transition area.

Are the official results available online yet? Or any photos from the numerous people snapping away round the course??

No one caes loser !

the lad with the back injury I saw happen!

it was a proper acrobatic flip over the bars.. am glad he is ok..
he had the stuffing knocked right out of him, with some serious whimpering going on.
I knew he was hurt and just shouted for the medics!

had a great time – first solo attempt – 8 laps – inexperience was telling – I should have managed 9 really. but spent too long in the pits, and also eased off too much laps 3 to 6…
there is always next year!

Below the vid, there is the list of solos pairs etc click on whichever one you are after

My first event and loved every minute, brilliant course and fantastic atmosphere all topped off with a very unexpected team medal.
I’m absolutely in awe at the solos pulling consistent sub hour laps and being passed on the final climb by a fully rigid singlespeeder was just hilarious. Seeyou next year!

and i give you your solo winner indulging in a bit of waxy sado machism at prize giving !

“he was a bit bloody quick for me to take in much detail! “

wasnt me then 😀 – i was at a cadence of 1/2 going up that hill …. still quicker than walking though 😀 managed it every lap though – found it easier than the road climb to the final natual single track 🙁
