Road will be fine tomorrow - just keep positive and singing this -
Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'
Keep movin', movin', movin',
Though they're disapprovin',
Keep them doggies movin' Rawhide!
Don't try to understand 'em,
Just rope and throw and grab 'em,
Soon we'll be living high and wide.
Boy my heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin', be waiting at the end of my ride.Move 'em on, head 'em up,
Head 'em up, move 'em out,
Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide!
Set 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, let 'em out,
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in Rawhide.Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin'
Rawhide!
Rain and wind and weather
Hell-bent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side.
All the things I'm missin',
Good vittles, love, and kissin',
Are waiting at the end of my ridesorted it's the power of positive mental attitude!

Any news on trail conditions? We're just leaving....
ta, al.

Judging by the thaw in Inverness and all the great work by the trail pixies I've fitted the Medusas. Can anybody say if this is totally the wrong choice (given I have ice spikers in the shed)? Are they any big patches of hard ice? Thanks.

See you all in the morning - don't forget your mud tyres.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Just been at Contin. Lots of chat ranging from "no ice tyres required" to "ice tyres required"...
Posted 2 years ago # -
il be running ice tyres for the first lap then changing to muds.
trout, YGM... again!
Posted 2 years ago # -
If it's any indication, some lads have built an igloo to camp in ...
Posted 2 years ago # -

great buzz at puffer ground zero last night...bring it on
Posted 2 years ago # -
Sat in the upper realms of the fire road id leave one ice spike on ..... Anything pointing down is polished slidy ....will cut up for us soloists after first lap though. going to be tough going though !

Guys much respect to you all - next year (I keep saying that).
We are just about to get out in the pouring rain here in Penrith but I have to say I'm not jealous of the ice, snow yes, but not ice!
Look forward to seeing the pictures

Just been to the start, there looks to have been a huge thaw so it's going to be muddy! Good warm-ish wind blowing too which is good. Great to see such a big turn out despite the build up.

Arethe latest positions online anywhere? I know they were last year.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Is it just me that is captivated by looking at a list of times of people I've never met, riding in circles at a place I've never been to?
Think I need to get out more.
Mind you, I'm practically unable to do anything following my tennis elbow operation last week, so this is as exciting as it get for me for a couple of months.
Fair play to the riders, and diggers and organisers.
And that Alex Glasgow is flying still
Posted 2 years ago # -
Cheers Mary, though to be honest I do know some of the folk,and I did do the race last year.
Posted 2 years ago # -

sound. wasnt looking forward to that drive down past the loch on the strathp side! the stars are out and the camera has been emptied of vids and crappy pics ..and i have slide film in the film camera.

And that Alex"british champ" Glasgow is flying still
top 5 fastest laps i believe he got the prize for at the end !
Posted 2 years ago # -
I think he had the top 3, but it was his quad team's 31st lap that was his fastest at 40 mins and some few seconds. Wow. On that course, in those conditions, that's skill, courage, strength... the whole thing.
I was delighted with 1h12!
Posted 2 years ago # -
i got about 50 for my 17th. its not on the timing sheets but jo/roberta/TJ and smee will verify because a combination of them were there when i set off at 8.22ish and returned and 9.10ish
Tore my own legs off for that - ran - shouted screamed and swore .... all chasing the invisible man - even twinklydave had something to say about the speed i was going at ....
turned out the man iwas chasing was in the pits enjoying being finished due to a bad back !
Posted 2 years ago # -
Well, you did it. And all for a snow globe and a bottle of ale! My quaich from last year's still shining on the shelf...
Cheers, al.

Yeah, sorry about that - was too sick in the lead up to come up with anything more ingenious.Still, we'll probably have the Scottish Single Speed Champs at the Puffer Lite, so there will be time for us to find a snow globe supplier
