Great weekend again. Thanks to the STW folks; Tony Lund and team and all the other volunteers etc. Hopefully not the last. Thanks also to Shimano who replaced my cranks FOC after they were trashed when my bike was used for the pump track challenge.

Well done to Kean (rider 162) for winning the WWGHD? prize; showing exactly what the weekender’s about. Right, now to sort out food and some mentally undemanding TV.

Yes fantastic weekend as you say. Well done to everybody who made it a massive success. Good to hear you got your bike fixed. Such an entertaining weekend top laughs and good fun.

Hear hear.

Fantastic weekend(er) again. The weather was so so much better than feared and helped to make it all such a great event. Superb atmosphere and camaraderie amongst everyone there.

Tandem DH runs!

Please do it again next year

Couldn’t agree more. Cracking weekend. Thanks to all involved.

Didn’t race this year but was there yesterday and had a great time. Bit sunburnt though 😳
Thanks for beer Baldysquirt, I would have loved to have stayed for a few more 8)

No worries BS, couldn’t see you bikeless. A top weekend in the sunshine.

The tandem dh run was one of the funniest things to watch ever. has no one got a vid? and was it a home made thing? looked like a orange five swingarm

Apparrantly it’s a custom thing from orange with an old patriot rear

The rest of the frame was Columbus steel tubing,the Chap made it himself

Supppose it was ok 😉
Great weekend of bikes and beer/whiskey and good company
Funniest moment, the chap that pinched flatted on the drop into the arena and had a potty mouth threw his bike away in frustration only to see it roll away towards a young child, rider runs after it before a collision 😯
Ouch moment, several people failing on the duck swipe. 😕
God your mad moment the tandem pair on the downhill respect!
Pictures soon!

pics??? can i have them please

Good to meet you Postie and put a face to the name. No takers on the bike?

My first weekender but it wont be my last, it was a proper blast. Many thanks to all at singletrack for a great, fun event but can we have a super vet class next year, please?(I’ll be 60+)

Next year for me from what you say! Sounds fabulous! Like a good giggle….(and the odd festivonian drink!) 😀

Hear Hear for another next year.

Only managed to get there today due to work and heard i’d missed a good day on saturday.

Any news on the Lad who was helped by Mountain Rescue ?

Hope he is ok

It was great! I was proper in two minds about racing but chuffed that I did.

Did anyone get any pictures of my ‘most sketchy descent into the arena’? I practiced the line but when it came to it I missed it completely and was lucky to land upright. 😳

What was the deal with the chopper? I was sat after the XC when it circled and landed but I’d seen no bodies etc lying anywhere whilst I was out…

Hope whoever it was makes a good recovery.

Think it took the lad the mountain rescue helped.

The Ambulance landed in the paddock then went to the Car Park.

Hope he is ok

A young lad face planted on a drop off not part of the weekend! Lost some teeth lots of the red stuff apparantly

As above. A non-racer crashed on his face and broke his nose and dented his face a bit. The Mountain Rescue guys took him to the bottom of the hill and called for an ambulance. The chopper seem to have been sent purely because I guess the quarry is a bit of a pain to get an ambulance up to. It wasn’t a life-or-death thing and a road ambulance would have been fine. So hopefully he’s fine by now.

While I’m here, thanks for a great weekend everyone. It’s good to see so many familiar faces and so many people having a laugh, even when struggling round the XC course. Cheers all!

Brilliant weekend razzing about on bikes.

Got the bug for going faster on the DH now, must get faster, must get faster.

Pump track challenge was a highlight too.
