    Well done, a fantastic event. Thank you organisers, marshalls, photographers and anyone that gave me any encouragement. I do think I might be in for the wooden spoon but I still had a fab time.

    My Mum seemed to enjoy it too – nattering to a photographer, and giving some chap a leg rub with his cramps.

    Sefton – sorry I didnt say hi, i didnt realise it was you til Mum and Dad mentioned it. You are a bit taller these days 😉

    Great event, my first race / event etc of any type.

    Had an excellent time, could have done without the blown tube on the last lap but massive thanks to all those telling me I was unlucky and asking if I had the tools I needed.

    Huge kudos to the organisers, getting out of the car park was far from fun but again massive thanks to the helpers and pusher.

    Top four on first lap

    All on mtb’s I see 🙂

    Sooo gutted I couldn’t be there. And to twist the knife more, my back is virtually pain free now. Agony last night 🙁

    Another doing their first event/race whatever you want to call it.
    Hard work, managed three laps which was the target beforehand.
    Sorry to any of the speedsters if I got in your way. Hello to the ‘Will Probably Die’ crew.
    Thanks to all of the organisers, marshals etc etc. Brilliant day and I’ll be back.

    Results will be up when they are ready. Louise The Scoring Lady needed medical attention due to the cold 😯 . She’s alright now but pestering her wasn’t at the top of our to-do list.

    Thanks Jason and andy and everyone involved for a fantastic day

    Bagpuss has asked me to state catagricaly, in reply to the photos posted, that I am indeed northern working class scum, but it’s nothing to do with her. She’s a reet classy lady and is merely trading down to ‘a bit of rough’ so she has something to discuss when she goes out for lunch in the high brow fleshpots of bury 🙂

    big thanks to the guys for organising, and thanks to the marshals for the encouragement!

    Really enjoyed the course, but made a right horlicks of that steep muddy climb every lap – ended up just dragging the bike!

    Stayed behind to help push the cars up the hills – got a face full of fumes pushing that motorhome up the hill!

    banged about on the frozen ruts

    that’ll have to be the tag line for next year!

    Right, now it clicks. Ed was the guy in brown with the Nikon and flash gun.. Sorry Ed, didn’t click at the time. In fact, apologies to anyone who said hello to me today who didn’t get an accurate and timely response, I said “Hey, how’s things” to far too many people when I knew the face but just couldn’t place the name. It must be my age or something

    Great day, nice to see everyone helping get the cars out.

    Do u have to pay for the gritter? If there are not enough funds I suggest a whip round to cover the cost.

    T’was ace.

    Set off at 3am from Kent, got up there, froze, rode race, felt shite (had treatment yesterday), jumped in van and drove back to Kent to get back for 5pm. Bit gutted about my performance, but under the circumstances it’ll have to do.

    Loved the brass band, loved Ton shouting encouragement, love the course. Top work gentlemen, it was great.

    Currently incapacitated, and listening to wife murmuring about whether it was ‘worth it’ continuously…

    bullheart, i tried to find you at the finish, for a chat, and to give you a fiver for the charity. TimP did me a favour and did not want the cash, he said donate it.

    anyhow, well done mate, it was nice to shout at you….. 😆

    how good where the berms!!! (did another lap just for them even though I knew it wouldn’t make the 2hrs)

    Bloody glad they didn’t.

    It was very nice to put name to faces…Sambob, Ton, Teatwo, Dr P, all very nice and very much adds to the atmosphere…

    I reckon if you want good numbers open entry both on line and in the pub the evening on the day of the event, I’d do it again 😉

    No point asking who won as the name won’t mean anything (although they clearly deserve the glory) but out of interest did the winner ride a CX bike or a MTB? Or did one of the fat tyre boys do it????

    Great events-thanks to all involved. Did it the year before last and had to miss it last year due to injury. Gets better and better. Very good course, nice atmosphere-top day out.
    A bit tougher on the cross bike with those ruts this time-infact it seemed the MTB’s just had the upper hand. One of the guys I was with managed to break a finger falling off his crosser lap 1 but he still finished LOL

    No we didn’t, both of us completed 5 laps but the Pugsley beat my Mukluk by around 10 minutes.

    The fat tyres were awesome for 25% of the lap, sailing over anything rutted or technical.

    Those berms were incredible! Found my self looking ahead far more than I normally do, it really does make you faster!

    And a big Thank You from me,organisers,marshalls,photographers etc..
    Was impressed by my fellow riders,some talented riders out there and more importantly,friendly ones…being encouraged by riders as you overtake them was a “first” for me…P.S. not that it happened THAT often..

    I rode with johnclimber and his mate for a while, then lurked in the woods so I could get my car up the hill before the snow comedy started. His clown bike looked really ace. Still concerned for rider 226.

    And for 75% you must have had your work cut out!

    Just finished my initial pass through my photos. 322 rejects means a phenomenal 767 that are decent enough to show people

    what the **** do I do with 767 photos? Just uploading them’ll take about 24 hours, and it’ll probably blow through my broadband bandwidth for the month too!

    might crack a beer for now and think about it in the morning
