all things considered it turned out good value for money.
It better be you won half the prices

I thought the xc course was perfect. A short technical course. I liked the hairpins, loamy sections and other bits that made it not flowy.
Unless I was in the wrong place, I only saw 1 shower. This was in the gents toilet shower block. I assume the women got the same. The shower ran cold. Luckily there were also disabled toilet/showers next to the laundry which ran hot.

Simple that was me shouting on Saturday morning with the tag-along. I probably came across a little moody but I was seriously stressed
Thank you, you orgainised at least 2 events and you had exactly the right frame of mind. And you gave me the hawain flowers
Hope you enjoy your prizes. All this rubbish about too few people winning prizes is cr@p. Simple won loads as she competed loads. If you dont compete you dont win. Simples.

The showers in our chalet were fine.
Well except for th unexplained one in the RudeBoy Gate incident.

Where is RudeBoy to explain his side of the story ? Is he in hiding somewhere deep in the New Forest with the Brewerytap lady ?

Being as RudeBoy is banned and cannot defent himself, we, the All Knowing, have decided to not spill the beans and simply elude to what may, or may not, have happened.
This stance also protects the other ,innocent, participants.

Does anyone have any of the podium pictures or video of the lake jumps?
Rich: You wern't grumpy.. not that I noticed I was all in my own little grump. I did win a few prizes, granted. but I entered just about everything and somehow won two events. Not bad for someone who only cycles to walk the dog or to the pub(Ha!)
Those whinging about a lack of programme.. tut. Shame on you. I found out about the event on thursday, got a group of 4 organised and got there for friday night...with a pre printed programme.. now that's organistation
I was also gutted after leaving my dog at my parents to see a fair few dogs about the event site and camp site. She was howling when I left her. She knows when the mountain bike goes in the car it's going to be fun. Need to campture video of her with me as she follows me over all the jumps/through puddles/down steps.. she swims too... canine lake jump!

I have some podium pics. I think Peter_Poddy has most of them though. I also have a poor quality video of Andy braking the lake jump ramp. all coming to an internet near you soon.

Totally agree about the extra prizes for kids.
Totally agree about spreading the prizes around more riders than just the winners.
Totally agree we should have made it clearer about the proper showers being in the proper camp site.
Totally agree we should have had some idea of a schedule, we did have one but no-one brought it with them so we were working from one of the campers printed emails.
There is a photo in the Wednesday 26th Daily Echo of the kids race on page 10 if anyone is interested.
Just going through all the emails I have received. Might not be able to reply to all of them but thanks for the nice words. I don't think any of the comments or criticisms are harsh or particularly unfair and if this ever happens again we will try and address them but I think it went okay for a first time.
MASSIVE THANKS to everyone who helped. This is not just the other 5 who helped me on the committee but all those who just volunteered to help and do stuff. Our team of 20 - 30 boy scouts who were our marshalls cancelled at very short notice.

Lydon's well chuffed with his Buff! It's something different anyway.

Podium pics will be going up tonight, ran out of time at midnight last night sorting them to upload them.
Every race & event that went on the podium will be found on my website
http://www.saundersphotography.co.uk
So far, over 2000 views & only two people have bought anything, so please don't be too tight-it is for charity Posted 2 years ago # -
Goldenwonder - Do you do a CD of all the pictures the buyer is in for a set price? I'm more acustomed to motorcycle trackdays where you pay £20 for a disc with the pictures of you on it for the day.
Posted 2 years ago # -
I don't at the moment, but I'm always open to suggestions.
If you can drop me an email or message through my website with the numbers of the pics you're interested in, I'll see what I can do.Posted 2 years ago # -
simple out of curiousity what bike do you ride...? I mean with an engine for trackdays...
Posted 2 years ago # -
At the risk of going off topic, I have a 2004 r1
which is good for donnington and oulton park and on the roads touring france etc but I prefer my little kawasaki GPZ500s for Mallory park and Cadwell.Hey Juan, where's this then I only want the region(links as may be a bit big):
pretty castle but where?
A mountain nearby with a beautiful village next to a river, but where?Posted 2 years ago # -
hum south west I would say but most definitivaly next to a castle
Well your taste in bike matches your taste in cycles Posted 2 years ago # -

I can't remeber where it is anymore, somewhere near Tregnac.How do my petrol powere cycles match my marin? Must admit the Marin is grosly underpowered! Ha!

in both cases you need something more stylish
like a ducati 916 or a monster and a handjob or a stifee Posted 2 years ago # -
Pah! You do not know of what you speak! Ducati's have chocolate cams and cam belts. no good when you're using the bike to commute 80 miles to uni through winter or tour germany france and denmark. The r1 does all of the above with so much more style than a bag of spanners

And I though you were a women of taste. Nothing cant beat the feeling to ride a duke trust me specially not a R1... Mind you they are after all bikes for girls Posted 2 years ago # -
I had a lovely email from RudeBoy!
"Thanks to all who organised BBB we had a great time and thanks to WCA for remembering Joels autism and having a little chill out bit for him, lovely. Joel had an amazing time and I have never (honest) ever seen him so happy or relaxed." (a post from me)
Brought a tear to my eye. For that alone, I know it was worth all the tremendous and selfless effort put in by everyone involved. That's surely what it's all about.

Simple.- I think you might know my brother.
He does loads of bike trackdays on his black ZX6r track only bike, owns a couple of 'blades. He tows his bike with a black Passat estate witha yellow 'No Limits' sticky in the rear window.
Lucky git also owns an Imprezza trackday car , and occaisionaly rides his Scott Genius MC30 around the Peak District. I think he is off touring Scotland this week on a 'blade. Alright for some.
Didn't see you at the BBB, hope you enjoyed it.Posted 2 years ago # -

Fabulous fun, still giggling now. I was on an orange bike and wearing an orange top..or in a bikini on the podium (a mistake in heinseight..but understand that if i put my top on it would go see through in the boob area ha! and it was cold!)
If i saw your brother id' probably know him. He's likely to have seen the girl on the GPZ500s taking the pish. Is he an instructor? MY nolimits sticker fell off, they're not speed proof.Hoping to do Cadwell in September with nolimits but need to get the shoppingtrolley through it's MOT first and i'm too busy playing on my Marin.
Juan - the cheek! Ducati's are nice but no good if you want to do mega miles..or keep your hearing. r1 now has over 50000miles on it which is nowt for a car but you rarely see a motorcycle with over 30k on it unless the rider is nick Sanders.
So what do you have..I can see you're a ductifetishist and illinformed haha
Lake jump video is funny, from the start of the run up it looked like he only just went off the end of the ramp >whinces< I think Juan even let out a girlie 'eek'
Posted 2 years ago # -
PS is your brother single? lol Got all the toys
also which magazine/s are piccies expected in?

XC Race 18+ Fun Women 1 Lap
Position No.
1 D045
2 D064
3 E043That explains why women I overtook were on the podium then! I did 2 laps, must have missed them saying it was only 1 for women and then the chap with the clipboard said it was 2 laps when I went through the finish line the first time. Oops, never mind,I was enjoying myself and according to the other half I was second back of the women that did 2 (he thought the ones stopping after 1 had given up !)
