Welcome to Lancashire 😉

I may pop over later and say hello

You sure binners? It IS raining 😉

I’m heading up about lunchtime. Males a change from the usual dawn raids

Local weather update. Has been drizzle but nothing heavy.
Currently overcast, excellent weather for riding.
Get out there!!!

Brightening up. Sun must have followed us over from Gods county.

Crazy good riding weather today, really enjoyed all the stages, even the ‘what the ****, where did that gap jump come from’ bit. Cock hill is a bit of a midge fest at the bottom though.

Yes great stuff, last bit of stage 5 is interesting as is the chute on 6. Glad 2 is off as it could have been carnage.

Need to improve the signage though especially at lee quarry, had to ask a marshal for directions but he hadn’t a clue.

Yep stage 2 would of ended in lots of injuries, undoubtedly including myself. Everyone I spoke to was glad it wasn’t a timed stage and I thought it was a right ball ache.

Great days practice yesterday. Good mix of trail. Now time to get ready to race 🙂

Well that was fun.

Bottom of stage 5 was er, interesting.

Enjoyed stage 2 today but pretty glad it wasn’t in the race. Top weekend all round tho. no crashes no mechanicals. Happy with that.

A great well organised weekend, thanks to everyone who put the effort in to make sure every one enjoyed it.

It was extra special for me as it is eleven years since Abigale was on podium when she was six coming second in the under 9 Midland XC
Championships.

Got some more dust in my eye when she climbed up for third place today

Good result for abigail! Nice to see you both again and have a chance to say thanks for that rear enduro shock

She is sill stoked with the result. Nice to see you again. Hope you had a good day.

Couple of vids from Cockhill today.

Gap Jump

End of stage 4 (was 5)

Was a great event. Really well organised, thanks to Kev, mike, medics and all the marshals!!

Got 3rd in hardtail’s, didn’t know there was a Hardtail podium until the prize giving. Good thing we stayed 😉

cockhill is always great but found a new bit of respect for Lee this weekend too! might start using my most local trail centre a bit more!
