My 16 yr old lad made the video with a bit of filming from me thrown in. Hope you like it!

Now thats seriously good, well done.

What a hell of a lot of hard work the organisers must have put in to get the trail marked up,sorry i missed due to crap sat nav.

3 things,

Some riders had strange bendi bars,Uri Geller lives

Some riders where obviously arriveing from their Ballet class, (lycrad up)

A few riders seemed to have only one cog on the back,taking weight saving to an extreme.

I like the bit where the "camera bike" was faster up the climb than the racers.

Great vid - good tune too, must date back to about 1972, Jan Akkerman on guitar.
Really enjoyed that, although the millisecond footage of me was dreadful - I can honestly say I haven't missed my vocation!

Brilliant. Loved the cut to Ed-O playing his digeridoo (Sp??) as the instrumental bit kicked in at about 5.15.

Um, well I know it's all instrumental, but just watch it back and you'll see what I mean.
