Wife just made me a huge dinner of steak pie, cabbage, peas carrots mash and roasties, really didn't want it but couldn't bring myself to say anything! Left a few peas and carrots!!
Enjoyed it so much more than mayhem!

Did it solo(22 laps), great course(alot of singletrack) and the most unlike Catton conditions. Bone dry and dusty. Did it on a hardtail which has left me very sore, lots of rock hard ruts and bumps. Think its the best in the 5 years I've been doing it !

22!! Well done! 15 here, was my target after 11 last yr. Very pleased I did it.

Started off in pairs, but my mate pulled his knee so had to go solo; managed 15 on my own for a grand total of 20 laps in the category :(. It was a good course with some good singletrack sections and the weather was perfect.

Not racing but I did get in a couple of laps, thought the course was fantastic. LOADS of singletrack, a fast dusty course and great weather.

Some bits of single track were stupid - the silly bit (like a VERY TIGHT s bend and where they left a couple of saplings in the main drag)
Only proper gripe - the braking bumps!!

Did it in a mixed team(dottys crew)11tManchester Mountain Bikers mixed team here...10th spot
did well considering one of our lot injured himself & couldn't ride, so there were 4 of us + a mate who knocked a few laps out just so we could have a few extra moments rest.
good course, really enjoyed bouncing off trees towards the end!

Did someone rip that **** whiplash sapling out in the end ?
Great event much more chilled than Mayhem.
Fell asleep at the bars at 3am in the first singletrack section
Good times.
Postie much faster without facial fluff

i thought the course was very good actually, some of the singletrack was infact fun!

33 laps and 3rd in pairs for me.
Good course, bit different from my usual 24's though...Scotland!

sounds alright to me, don't anyone moan about "sanitised" xc race courses!
Posted 1 year ago # -
Nowt wrong with the course IMO.

Excellent event, great weekend, amazing weather and a very good and enjoyable circuit.
The only people who moan about courses are those who are poor at riding!

First time solo for me 16 laps all on a hard tail, no going back to the team events now!
Thanks to all the riders and spectators for their support, it was quite ovewhelming at times
Best SiTS course ever. Well done everyone.

Well that was my first 24 hour event and not done any other major events in mtb.....but....
I loved it, got a real buzz from it all. I thought the course was very good and most of the singletrack was great! Well done to the organisers, great job!
Having the right team mate makes a big difference.....I even kept my sense of humour throughout the 24 hours!!
Highlight of the weekend for me.....going to bed at 2am, then waking up and riding through the darkness turning into light, with the misty and calm atmosphere... roll on next year!

I didn't race (I am injured) but popped up to have a look. I was surprised to see the spaces in the camping field as it's usually rammed.
I was a very jealous having competed the last 4 years.

Very impressive mate! We were trying to catch you but in the end just couldn;t get another lap in! Only 4 mins of 4th and just couldn't seem to get that back either.
