What a GREAT event!
Despite SIX punctures (damn those sharp flints!) which cumulatively added 2hrs+ to our time we had an absolutely brilliant ride. Great scenery, great trails, etc.
Anyone else enjoy it?

Yes... once I'd crossed the finish line!
Was tougher then I expected. Don't know if it was me but there seemed more off-road then was advertised - not that I'm complaining. Thought the route marking was excellent, couldn't get lost even in the fog.
Just the one puncture early on for me. Looked like quite a few were suffering with punctures.
What were you riding Digger - cx or mtb? I went for the cx, although it was a tad uncomfortable by the end of the ride and part of me wished I'd gone for the mtb!
I was on a CX bike.
Not ideal in the goopy mud with file-tread semi-slicks, especially changing 6 punctures!
But I had a smile on my face all the way around. Rode it with 2 mates, all of us on CX bikes, and we were just laughing all the way around.
Yep..really enjoyed that,even the white knuckle descents....first time out on a crosser..are the brakes always that bad?...(on-one cantis)..if so I need to take more Brave Pills!
Will be back for more next year...
