Just seen the fresh goods, can't comment as i am not a paid up premier member.

We see Chipps racing kit for tomorrows death race down fort william, but no bikes, aprart from an Orange 29er.... is he racing it ?
Don't think anyone has raced a 29er yet ๐Ÿ™‚

I am playing in Vets class this year so will keep an eye out for red thor gear hanging from a tree or in a bog (been there myself ๐Ÿ™‚ )

Sounds like several STW regulars are eventing, ranging from high end bikes, to bikes that might not ride out of the carpark intact.

See you all in the morning ๐Ÿ™‚

bit more flash than ours Northwind.

i found the odd ticking noise and fixed it so mine should now make it out of the carpark, might have to tweek the rebound a bit or i will be hanging out of a tree.

Ooooooof. That was good. Bloomin nevis range mud though, it's sandpapered all the skin off my thighs!

Got 13 runs in apparently, for 39th overall. [i]More[/i] than happy with that. Just in ahead of Jesse Wigman on his rigid ๐Ÿ˜†

Um, he was obviously talking about this race, not racing in general.

Well, that was fun. Painful but fun. Apologies if I held anyone up ๐Ÿ˜‰

Definitely going to do it next year. What a blast!

Coming soon "SingletrackDownhillWorld" ๐Ÿ™‚

Northwind i flayed the outer layer off my waterproofs instead of skin off my sack and crack, that granite sand gets everywhere. Waterproofs are knackered but i am not walking funny.

Chipps, good go old chap ! did you break anything on the loaner bike ๐Ÿ™‚ (bet your already planning next years...)

Yeah, wish I'd stopped and put on some layers now! Walking like John Wayne today.

I think I shared a gondola with you northwind (chainless 322). Managed 13 runs and 29th place. Can't move now though
