First chance for me to post my thoughts on the event. Got to the site early to meet Aiden seemingly working alone, met Filip from Belgium who helped me set up camp and share a couple of bottles of Maredsous, soon to be joined by Sam (Singular) who after setting up his camp appeared to be part of the organising team as he set about fetching, carrying, setting up tirelessly with Aiden. The young Hungarian lad turned up, festival tent bouncing on his back after riding/train/riding all the way from Hungary 😯 , old friends arrived to set up camp, the beer came out, the absinthe appeared, the fires were lit, good times.
Saturday a.m. it pi55ed down, the course was just a wee bit slippery, the ‘feed station’ was, ahem, busy, the heckling on the final climb top notch, the prize-giving fun, were those grins or grimaces on the rollapalluza? Fires lit again, cheeseboards appeared, darkness, sleep.
Many thanks to Aiden and his team, fantastic site, thoroughly enjoyable weekend with friends old and new (sounds a familiar sentiment to these events 😀 )
