I was passed several times at Sleepless by a rider in full Salsa kit, so I'd guess one of the team riders, with music playing out loud.

Two questions:

How were you playing music? Was is through an MP3 player or did you have a band in your jersey pocket?

And what were the tunes as they sounded ripping at 2.30 in the morning (but that may have been due to lack of sleep).

Good event, helped by the weather and finally getting on the podium capped it for me.

The tunes were fantastic, but trying to keep up to listen caused a few issues!

Hahaha

Yes that was me. It was a selection of Bad Religion, Pennywise, Offspring, Foo Fighters, Green Day and Rise Against. It was played with a iPod and a pair of mini speakers, one in each of my jersey pockets.

Well done for getting on the podium - who are you?

That was George. Good call I reckon - I want one !

It was one of those new fangled young persons' music playing devices, the new ones have speakers.

Although could get VERY annoying if every racer had one.

Legendary performance by George and Phil it has to be said, 3rd overall, with only two of them. Yes that's overall.

Cheers gee

Mrscrackfox and I finished 3rd in mixed pairs (at the third time of trying), team 'Sprockets' after our dog, riders 1375 and 1376. Just to prove baggies can get on the podium.

Cheers for the music recommendations, might see you at D2D.

I did it at 10 under just after they put the ban in by bunging a speaker in my seattube bottle cage and taping my mp3 player to my top tube.

I remember hels above giving me a bollocking for it, which wasn't appreciated.
