gisburn dirty dozen

My first ever 12 hour event and what a great event it was the course was a great mix of singletrack and fire roads with a killer climb at the end. By 7.20 last night i was certianly glad i didnt have to climb it again.my only complaint would be the lack of first aid cover my wife fell off and badly bruised her knee and on asking for an ice pack was told sorry we only have a basic first aid kit. That said we will certianly be back next year as long as the sun is shining.Did anyone else enjoy themselves ?

I had a great time. Me and twinklydave won the pairs 🙂

Are you the chap in the little bedford campervan

Yes, good day too. Course was too easy though IMO. The bit through the woods was good fun but all the rest was pretty bland, and certainly not challenging. Usually trail centre criticism… Well run though but 12 hours is pushing it IMO. By about 8 I'd done everything I could lap time wise, and just wanted beer by then.

bedford campervan? Nope.

The chap in the capmervan must have been one of the pair you were battling with all day great effort from both of you

thanks. I think the van might have been Ant White's in that case. It was ace though, a right old (friendly) ding-dong all day really.

Good fun but for that final climb!! Maybe my Scott Ransom wasn't the best choice!!
Terrahawk you guys really are mad men! Never seen anyone as full on for so long !!!

The first three pairs teams were really quick, a level above everyone else. I think we were 6th or 5th in pairs. I have'nt raced for eight years and I did on reflection really enjoy it.

I thought the course was great, anything more technical would have made it too hard for a 12 hour, especially for the solo guys.

All in all a good day, the weather was great which helped a lot.

The results are up now, for those who love statistical delving

I loved it and thought the course was great. Enough techical stuff to keep me interested, but some recovery sections. Although the last climb had me climbing from lap 4 onwards.

numbnuts if it was the Bedford Campervan with the Pronghorn stickers on then it was me… Guy in orange Kit but I raced Solo….

Was a great event and I will be back next year…
