Just got home from an incredible experience. first event i've done in possibly twenty years. I didn't finish but I got much further than possibly i should have. I met incredible people, Rod and Louise, I saw superbly friendly marshals and amazing welsh scenery. There was an incredible array of bikes there, every niche covered I think even chips on a new bigger cannondale broom. I will be back next year, I will be fitter, I will be better prepared, regardless I will enjoy just as much the experience. A massive thank you to the organisers and marshals. I achieved many more goals than I thought possible and new when I saw the feed station that it was sensible to say enough. I appreciate I'm rambling a little but hey, i don't care. I'm lucky to be alive and to meet friends and ride bikes is icing on an incredible cake.

PHOTOS FROM THE FEED STATION CLIMB

http://s10.photobucket.com/user/acejoy/library/Dyfi%202013%20Feed%20Station

I was out this year due to injury and ended up sitting at the feed station taking pics of you all struggling up the climb. I've stuck them all at the above link. SOme are s spot out of focus or have motion blur but most are ok and I thought I'd share the love. The file names are the rider numbers (e.g. 637.jpg), some pictures having multiple riders on (e.g. 353_636). If anyone want a hi res image drop me an email (in profile) and I'll send it on.

Feel free to spread the link around too as I'm only really active on this forum.

Hi, sorry I'm afraid I've locked the feed station pics out of respect for the official photographer Jon.

No not at all but he is the official guy for photos and helps to put on the awesome event that is the Dyfi. Therefore I don't want to detract from his hard work or his business.

I've done four previous Dyfis and this year I'd been training hard to aim for a top-10% finish place (I know, it's meant to be chilled out etc, but the route cries out to be ridden in anger). Two friends broke their collar bones this year and I was counting my blessings right up to four days before the event. Then, of course, it happened to me. Next year seems a long, long, long way away.
