Isle of Man End2End. I don't see it as racing though, it's the taking part that counts 😆

The last one, an Action Asia CX race a few weekends ago, not easy against people half my weight on 29ers (thats what I tell myself anyway).

Two wheel drifting in to a corner at Pearce Series Round 2 2010 at Bringewood. The main track was too muddy and treacherous even for the elites to get down the first 100m! So the main man, legend and all round nice guy that is Dave Pearce taped in a 'new' top section down the side of the hill and the riders kicked the leaves and logs out the way and rode it in on practice day until there was a track. Loose and loamy and wet doesn't even nearly cover it

This thread is like seeing pictures of the actors from The Archers.
90% of the people I'm looking at bear no resemblance to the mental images that I have of them when reading their posts.

I'm not competitive because I'm crap (I even lost the tag-along race on page 1!). But the QECP Enduro back in the summer was fab and I liked this pic the official photo fella took, so I bought it.

Some pretty cool shots on here and impressive to see so many people DO actually go out and race. More interesting to finally put names to faces (or bikes) !

Question to schmiken, njee and the others who have raced the Olympics course, what are those rock sections like in the wet?
I've only ever seen near perfect conditions in photo's and wondered if they are special rain replant rocks or normal ones that turn into ice skating rinks at the slightest sign of precipitation?

I guess this was taken around the same time as one of epicyclo's photos! I did not cause these guys to crash - I was at the back but the guy in the climbing helmet touched epicyclo!

That was the end of my race. He hit my back wheel.
I was already in deep doggydoo with the missus because I had been carted off to emergency a few weeks earlier with a DVT and had a couple of days in whatever they call Intensive Care these days followed by a week in the Cardiac ward.
When I got back my wife was hitting high doh because apparently someone had been taken off the course with a fatal heart attack and she thought it may have been me (it was an unfortunate spectator).
Then she heard I'd had a big crash and seeing as I was pumped full of blood thinners she put on a quiet tantrum and I had to go home. I thought it wise to comply.
But I still managed to do my usual one more lap than Dougie Vipond 🙂
