I am entered in the 40 miles but have flu but am still going to give it a go.
Anyone else taking part?
Try not to sneeze as you pass me, thanks 8)
I'm in 8)
Don't expect a fantastic time though..
I may be there but not riding in the Enduro, where abouts are you going to be PSling, we may swaing past 😉
where abouts are you going to be PSling
Won't know 'til I get there; wherever they put me! May see you out there somewhere, tis only a little woods 😀
I would have been in if I hadn't face-planted last weekend 😕
I'm in for four laps.
If you see a big fat beardy bloke in Vegan Cyclists kit on a Lynskey Rohloff 29er, say hello.
I'll be there. Four laps for me and my wok.
I will be there 4 laps
2 laps here which is more than enough for me.
I just realised that each of my 3 tubes are schrader and wont fit my rim if I have a tubeless fail. Oh well, it will keep the weight out of my bag...
Well you will have great conditions was down there today very dry great.Saw guys marking some of the route out.painted tree roots nice touch
redy orange this year not yellow.Dowies was great.
In for 4 laps, hopefully finish before everyone's gone home!
Was one of the one's out today marking the course, yeah there's a few snazzy orange roots but it'd take a lot of paint to get them all done! Just hope no local rouges make any 'alterations' to the course before tmw...!
Did see a car on the fireroad above the stream by the culvert.I went left then down through small gap down gulley.Never messed with tapes.Well marked out.
When you get bored watching come and watch our m/c trial up at Stoney Green. Find Mallards Pike entrance and down the road towards Blakeny and on the right oppo the turning to Soudley. Some nice mtbing there as well.
They often have a trial on New years day by the Quarry near the dippies.
"I just realised that each of my 3 tubes are schrader and wont fit my rim if I have a tubeless fail. Oh well, it will keep the weight out of my bag..."
Not just me then............... 😯
Its Boxing day the trial and effing cold. good watching unless we cancel it because of too much ice
Enduro was cool!
Must admit, I got to the end of lap one and Wondered if I could go another...Looked at my phone and it was 75 mins (yea yea, I know) so I decided to go again.
Did a painfully slow 2nd lap (getting passed left right and centre by the 4 lapper boys... but got round in the end. Loved some of the singletrack and the last set of downs was ace 🙂
Will go again next year for sure. (Wont take my phone this time..see other post 😯 )
Just got home from it. 2 laps was enough for me.
Great course - does anyone have a GPS route for it? - would like to ride it again but doubt whether I could follow it just from memory without the tapes and paint.
Thanks to the organisers and marshalls 😀
Just got back and loved it
Me and the wok managed three out of four laps. I would still be there now if I went for a fourth. 😯
Really enjoyed it once again. Superb tough singletrack course and impeccable organisation.
A very big than you and well done to all at the RDFCC.
See you next year.
Managed 3 out of 4 and banged in 66 minutes on the first lap but my body had nothing to give crossing the the line to start the 4th lap.
There were some really quick riders there too.
Really good event, maybe try it on the full sus next year as my ass hurts from the carbon hardtail.

Plans are in hand for pretty much the same course [with a few variations] to be permanently waymarked during 2011 - funding is in place and I understand that contractors have tendered to do the work 🙂
There were some really quick riders there too.
First rider home in the 4-Lap finished in 3hrs 2minutes, 5th rider home crossed the line about 10 minutes later [and he is recovering from a cold!] 😯
Managed 3 out of 4
tssk, you youngans just don't have the endurance do you 8)
They won't let us Vets do 4 laps, mind 2 laps was enough for me
today..
"They won't let us Vets do 4 laps, mind 2 laps was enough for me

Erm yes they did this year. No age restrictions.
You had to enter expert! DOH!
It's a pity they don't show ages for the juniors entered; there are some pretty good times there by under-16s. At the other end of the scale, the guy who came 16th in the 2-Lap will be 65 at his next birthday 🙂
Was really good, love the course. Think the age categories need a bit of work tho- I came 2nd in Expert with 20 odd masters in front- why not just have a 4-lap category?! Unless someone wants to give me a prize, in which case I'll shut up 😉
What a great course, the best I have ever raced on.
Four laps and 5750 Kcal in 4:08.

Great work.
I was goosed after 1 lap and there was no chance of me doing 4 😯
my final time was 02:37:35 for 2 laps. Horrible, but a nice benchmark for next year. I was going to give all this up a few days ago, but I loved today...see you next year?
I to would just like to say.
"A very big than you and well done to all at the RDFCC."
It was a great course and well marked and marshaled.Plus Ive just see the results 4laps 3.08 3rd place 10 mins faster than last year so im chuffed with that.
Definitly be back next year
Any pics up yet?
I thought it was a great course, I really enjoyed it, especially the section at the end....well done to the organisers.
My only regret was I should have done the 4 laps instead of the two, but I will be back next year for sure.
Who were the guys taking the photo's ?
Does anyone know who was taking pics at this event?
Any pics from this event, there were a few photographers floating around ?

Great find!
check out RDFCC 0936.jpg anyone here? Fancy falling off in front of the camera 🙂
Notice how the good looking guy in in the Vegan Cyclist kit in front gets round the corner OK, though.
Who could this riding god on a hardtail 29er who leaves 26er full sus riders eating his dust be ? 😉
