Just got off the train back in sunny Wareham and am sorting my pics now.
After I've uploaded and numbered them they'll probably be online tomorrow night - http://www.rightplacerighttime.co.uk
I'll put a few samples on here to show you a flavour of the event later this afternoon.
Now its all over will old niterider (square wheeler) finally give some praise to the Cube Krawlers after their fine placing...no bad for 40+ers!who managed 21 laps. Well done to everyone who battled away through the night.
I put some pics up in an earlier post, but they don't seem to show (don't have a flikr account and don't want one).
They are pics of the course in the early laps.
If you go to MTBR endurance racing forum
Also pics of the camping
dirtygirlonabike - Memberwhat happened to vipond?
Fromn what I understand a tangle with another rider on his second lap resulting in a heavy fall and a precautionary trip to A&E - no more riding for him on medical advise as he had concussion I believe
Here's the story about "that crash" from the man himself....

I was Pit Gimp for these two, winning mixed pair.... Dave took so many painkillers he was rattling, Naomi worked so hard she was barely able to speak at the end........ 10 laps each. This was just after the finish
thats it for another year. would like to say thanks to my team mate whitesox for pulling off a stomper of a sixth lap to pull us up to 25th place. but if he had pushed just a little bit harder we could have been 24th. lol only kidding mate. great event all the same. and lets give mr vipond a break. he was just another biker who fell off like the rest of us but took a bad bang to the head, just so happens he was filming for the adventure show.
and to the niterider................humble pie me thinks.
I hope you haven'y overdone it - classic 'Dave style' ! Well done
My first puffer and what a great event.
Huge thanks to everyone who put in a amazing effort to make the full course rideable. Special thanks to the two guys with the snow shovels still clearing the track during the race.
Easy to spot the tricky sections - just look out for the BBC film crew.
bike kit soup
just transfered the first batch to the machine --- the water in there is a similar colour despite me rinsing it all with the shower head !
does anyone have gps data for the course ?
Congrats again on your win Trail_Rat, thought we had a great race.
Thought it was funny that we spoke before you did the extra lap.
Simon
Simon - were you being supported by someone called Bruce (err, I think!)?
If so, can I get in touch to get some contact details for him: he gave me the brake pads out of his own bike during the race (as well as helping out with mechanical faffing) and I need to get some back to him, as well as passing on loads of thanks!
cheers
Dave
how is your back simon ? you didnt look in a good way when i passed you!
Pics available now - Puffer pics
It's Wednesday evening and I still feel like someone has taken a very big and ugly stick to my legs and arse. Has anyone recovered yet?
I'm all mended now thanks Terry, i'll pack some bigger cogs next time!
Yeah no probs Dave
Ah, so here's the puffer chat. Back to work for me today, I prefer Puffer reality to Office reality! Good to meet you all again. Sure it had it's moments, but I basically had a great time. Here's our pics (with nearly no people in them).
Thanks to... well, everyone really!
Cheers, al.
