Second time for me.
Many thanks to Harry, Terrahawk, Mr Sparkle and all of those who organised, set up, marshalled etc etc.
Had a stinking cold this morning (honest) but loved every minute.
Special mention to the lass with the cowbell from me as well.
Also to the folks at the bottom of the drop into the car park (I know not falling off for three consecutive laps isn’t a big deal for most but it was for me! And boy did I let you all know, thanks for the kind words folks).
In fact, it’s probably unfair to single anyone out, they all helped get my aching, cramp-riddled frame around the course.
Actually, I must say cheers to the guy who told me to ‘stay off the brakes’ on the last lap (the descent into some trees and then all the mud). Rode it better than I had before, cheers pal.
Al at Garage had sorted the bike last week. Nice to try out the new bars (Chromag Fubar OSXs, f***ing huge, loved ’em) and brakes (Deores, cheap and very cheerful, especially when you’ve had Juicy 3s on!).
The new trails are great. I’ll be back to ride them again.
