CeeKay - Hope your feeling better after your mishap. I just arrived as you were getting back up.
You haven't tried hard enough if your dont go home without a scar or two. How's the eye today?
Or as I said - did you think you saw one of the ducks win prizes under the bridge?
We were in the next tent.

LOL! I never actually noticed the loch until lap 11, I think staying upright had my attention until then.

Cheers Alan, I still can't come to terms with the fact that I managed 5 laps ,including the first one and stayed upright on the ice, ghetto ice 29er tyres were good but not great. I then can't cycle across a level Bridge??? I mean what's that all about.
It never fails to amaze me at how fast some guys are, no matter the conditions, did you see the lap times for the fast guys, staggering, they're going uphill faster than i can come down
Glad you guys had a good one, You've got to applaud Pairs and Solos., Quads is hard enough. I had thought that this would be my swansong, but now...As one of my mates said "I've got unfinished issues with that Bridge"
Cheers

I was there, first puffer, raising money for BHF Scotland - and the marshalls etc. were great. The tunes and cowbells on Haribo Hill kept me going, especially on my last lap at half ten when I really thought I'd miss the 11am cut-off and should just quit and coast back down (made it by 5 mins). The next guys after the muddy gorse-lined sleigh ride also saved my life the lap before with half a twix, a pocket full of sweeties and some water. Hadn't eaten enough and was bonking hard.
We've posted a wee video and write up on our blog here
