Just outside of Didcot. Their team van, I assume, was parked in the barn in which the wedding was situated. Seem like they've got something going for them, then.

Manon Carpenter is current junior DH world champion and last year's junior World Cup champion. She's the next big thing and seems lovely to boot.

Just noticed Marc Beaumont has tweeted a couple of tweets about their (Madison Saracen) team manager, Will Longden, getting married yesterday. There were probably a few more MTB greats there. Was it here?

Congrats Mr and Mrs Longden!

That tickles me.

I take it you're in to bikes, but had no clue you were catering at Will Longdens wedding.... And hence surrounded no doubt by a good portion of MTBing great and good...
