Mountain Mayhem 2015 – The Video

Here’s the aftervideo for the 2015 Mountain Mayhem, showcasing a wide variety of competitors and an equally wide selection of music…

Mayhem saw 1,500 riders this year, as well as 12,000 visitors to Gatcombe Park. Which is more than a few, by anyone’s estimation.

The event had a new headline sponsor for 2015 in the form of GO Outdoors. So the Mountain Mayhem experience included both cycling and camping features to keep riders, visitors and families entertained.

Pat Adams: “GO Outdoors are the saviours of Mountain Mayhem.  We are delighted that they came on board at the 11th hour and saved the event.  But more than that we are over the moon about how involved GO Outdoors were at the event:  their shop, packed with things riders and campers really wanted was open an unprecedented 28 hours! Not only that, they also had Camping Angels to help people with their tents and proper bike people to help riders when they needed it.  As a Family Festival, Mountain Mayhem have found the perfect partner in GO Outdoors.  Pacific Edge, and more importantly all the riders, their supporters and their families thank them sincerely.”

Barry Dunn, Head of Cycling at Go Outdoors said “Cycling is so important to Go Outdoors, many of our staff ride bikes and have ridden MM in the past. When we were given the opportunity to support this unique event with massive heritage in Mountain Biking we leaped at it. The mix of cycling, and the outdoor experience is a perfect fit for us and it was great for our team to be on hand with all cycling and camping support.”

Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome. He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable. Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles. He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds. He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.
