Hey foxyrider
Just read your blog, some nice photos. Don't know how one of your riders came second in the female 12hr solo though, that was me 😉
It was a good course, probably the best I've ridden there yet as the singletrack sections being a bit slippy let me gain back time on the fitter guys who weren't quite as confident on the slippy stuff. The cottage return has to be the highlight of the lap, although the speeds I was hitting down there were getting silly towards the end and a mistake would have resulted in a major crash. I ran small block 8's tubless, were fine all day. They slid a bit on the rocks in the evening, but were predictable enough to still go hard on the downs.
We battled hard to take 3rd in the main 12hr pairs, but after around 10 hours had to conceed defeat to the Clee Cycles / KCNC boys. Two years running now we've taken the coverted 4th palace spot.
My team mates Dad took a load of photos on the first few laps, and they are all up on the MTBMonkey website here ([url= http://www.mtbmonkey.com ]www.mtbmonkey.com[/url]) for download.
