That is a great way to start a race! They need to sort the showers out though.... 2 lots of communal showers with men showering in both when my team mate and I went over to the rugby club.
Someone fired a very well timed flash at me as I was going over one of the little drops on the course and I'd like to see the photo... 130

Anyone get any pics of any of the riders from Team 58?
Jerseys were LVIS, Manchester Wheelers (Blue/White/Red), something bright green and a non-descript black one if that helps at all...

is John, who sadly had his bike nicked later that day. Keep 'em peeled people...
Bummer, I saw that on facebook and wondered if it was that John's bike. 4th place and getting your bike knicked - not a great day then!
More importantly, I beat KingTut.
He didn't walk any of the climbs though.. 😉
and he eats proper food 😉
In fact, I'll bet it was MTG who killed the squirrel during a fight over some nuts or similar 😀
I'm dying to find the one someone took of me just as huge snot bubble appeared out of my left nostril due to the 'extreme' exertion I was putting my unfit body through!
I think the photographers missed a trick, they should have been at the top of the climb after the zig zags, just to capture the expression on peoples faces, I probably looked like I was giving birth.
LOL - not a single one of me on photo-it either!

**cough** do more laps **cough**
A fair point 🙂
There are six pics of me on photo-it. 8)
Spanking gorgeous..

does andy know hes been confused with the Tutmeister!?
I think rd is actually 'tutting' over my use of risers and bar ends 🙂
Some nice pics there rd - cheers. I'll send over some beer vouchers.
You might have got a half decent result if you'd been riding a bike that was less of a brick, mike...
I actually went to the trouble of weighing it yesterday as I've never got round to it, it comes out at 21 lb on the nail.
Approximately half the weight of any of your bikes. 😉

Don't forget to get some bar tape on them..

9 of me Mike - you should have done more laps 😉
There's no way your bike is a real 21lbs.
I think he means he paid £21 for it.
There's no way your bike is a real 21lbs.
Well it said so on my scales and they have been calibrated and checked by customs and excise and everythink.
Perhaps your arms were it bit wimpy when you gave it a heft, you had done a lap by then..
9 of me Mike - you should have done more laps
I was waiting for you to pitch up with that one. 🙂
Nah, it was definitely not 21lbs. You know you have to include wheels when you weigh it...

Wheels, saddle, pedals It was all there.
Any pics of team 268 and 266?
Thanks

andy - its a good job I didnt see the riser bar end combo I would have made sure it was your bars that snapped not mine!
Meh. I had them kicking about, I wasn't going to buy new bars becuase of some bullshine fashionistas would get sand in their vaginas about it.
Pink cork bar tape next year, I'm warning you 🙂
Anything that gets you through solo effort is fine IMO bar ends on risers, even suss seat posts *shudders*, I had two bottles in cages on my bike during most of the race, people pointed and laughed, did I care? No, I just made them eat my dust..
andy if that was the issue you should have taken those those flat bars off me ! Im going to have to try and offload them somewhere!
Mike T - barends and risers are like gingers wearing green - just a nish nish.
2 bottles I can totally understand- spirits - mixers
Are they carbon? Are they wider than a sparrows ringpiece? Have you crashed them into anything yet?
ally and not terribly wide- not jeyboy xc narrow but not exactly phat dh wide either
as yet uncrashed .... give it time
Judging by this photo I'd say 580mm.
Gotta be said I can't remember this downhill section..
[img]

I hope its not downhill -Im still middle ringing it!
Not for me then. Sell them to Dylan - he likes to fit children's bike componentry to his steamroller.
Iz got propaz wide barz innit. 27" wiz barenz...
Oh dear. Drill some holes in it and make a minature flute? Lollipop stick?
Great pics Gary, thread back on track 😉
Indeed great pictures, me grinding 21lbs of GRRRRRRRRRR 😉

Found one!

genius
where was that lurking Dylan?
The Vegas crowd are attention whores aren't they?
you should hear what I heard said about you this weekend 😉 (not by an LVIS rider fwiw)
was I present was it contradictory to established expectation?!
This one taken by grahamh just about sums up my final few laps...

Have donated a fiver to T-Rex Graham, thanks for the pic.
Did anyone get any photos from the Sunday races?
Thanks Clubber, but I meant instead whether there were any amateur photogs on here who covered the event. I noticed several throughout the day...
Clubber, Lovely. I look almost as if I know what I'm doing..........
