Would have tried for another lap if I knew that at the time!
Great event, never seen so much singletrack! Oh, and apologies to all those who had to listen to my screaming front brake for 6 hours (My rear break failed after approximatley 5 mins of the 1st lap)

Bummer, I'd always wondered about that though.

Gratz on another cracking event though SPAM, sounds like I missed out ;-(

That big bomhole and the curly bits after it were proper funny. No, actually the whole course was really fun.

-Did anyone else think the climbs were all a bit less 'climby?' Or am i just fitter this year?

Mrs J and I shouted midlandstrailquestgraham on with his shorter name (ie 'Graham') a couple of times, he looked pleasantly suprised that someone he didn't know would remember the Vegan Cyclist. I am sure mrs J will talk falafel with you (and animal rights 'at you') next year Graham.

Cracking event but man that course was tough on the body!

Did pairs 12hr and managed 7th! Also got a spot prize at the end of the night :)

We were chuffed as you like with that. Some of you heroes were absolutely flying - even in the dark. And you soloists... unbelievable! This was the first time any of us had entered an event like it and well... what an event it was. Great course, great crowd, great prizes and freebies (cheers Charge) - Hope it's back next year. I've been aching today mind.

Big thanks to the guy who stopped to check I was ok, after braining myself on the low hanging branch as the route entered the woods after the ridgeline sprint... My head still hurts.
