I will. It was Plumber.
Not many crashes this year due to the frozen ground but there was a few 😉
We got down the main part of that on the tandem only to topple over on a small root at the bottom 🙂
surprised how many don't even try to ride it
Plenty of mincing there, even by my standards.
If Brian's at bottom of hill providing 'encouragement' It's best to walk 🙂
Can we have a video of those that nailed it please Brian, AKA me, every time! and some on cross bikes, Really enjoyed the short downs on the route, great fun buzzing back wheels only to watch them pull away again on the straights..
30 second vid of us

any pics or footage of the berm section?
Donk - Its easy to get Herbivore and myself confused. We both ooze a certain ruggedly handsome northern charm.
However he's a lot more GGGGGGGNNNNNNAAAAAAARRR than me, slightly hairier of face with less of a predilection for sausages. And he's right... I was indeed riding a lasses bike on Saturday. With comedy 1.7 skinny tyres
"surprised how many don't even try to ride it"
why does it always look easy from the bottom!
My claim to fame is that I was both the first and last victim of The Endura Free Fall on Saturday.
I fell down it when I put the Endura flag up and I went through the ice at the bottom in to 12" of water when I went to take it down again.
I hate that hill.
it looked easy from the top too ;o)
It'll be all change next year. The Trail Pixies and their diggers are on their way soon.
Berm me up Scotty.

I'm not. I might hire a slo-mo video camera and make a fortune off You've Been Framed though.

But where would all the hairy cows live during the summer?

Apologies to any kids watching for swearing a 2 mins in 😳
I did consider riding it on my way to the Church Inn but as I'd managed it all through the race I didn't wanna push my luck in a couple of inches of snow. I went straight on instead of turning left into the gulley, discretion/valour moment 😳My claim to fame is that I was both the first and last victim of The Endura Free Fall on Saturday.
Has anyone mentioned the little girl marshalling at the tunnel yet, she was brilliant, cheering/shouting/cajoling everyone along. Give it a couple of years and she'll be at the top of MTFU hill or the bottom of the free fall heckling the hell out of everyone not trying hard enough 🙂

a big thank you especially to the young marshal pointing us thro the tunnel -she gave me tons of encouragement on every lap
Yeah, I mentioned her the other day - what a star, she made my day!
I think her and her mum (who was also there) were at the same point last year.
They managed shouts of encouragment for the whole 2 hours last year as well.
good on em.
+1 for the little Chinese girl and her mum. massive help on that climb!
Yes they were, if Carlsberg made marshalls.... I made a comment to a bloke I was near that if I had that much enthusiasm, I'd be winning.I think her and her mum (who was also there) were at the same point last year.

I wondered why he'd changed bars at half time.... 😐
Thought I was having a flashback.
Really enjoyable event - fun course, cheerful marshalls and cracking black pudding, I'll definitely be back. 😀
nice vid. You can see me at about 1.30 🙂
A very happy looking MrLugz Jr right at the start of that video. Sat huddled in his helmet 3 layers, buff, and dads coat.
