..sweeeeet singletrack, bastard big climbs, beautiful day. Lovely stuff. 😀

There were some fast lads there today for sure! 🙂

Ideal weather venue and course some fast straight downhills that kept you on your toes on a hardtail!
75km in 4 hours and some severe red tan/burn lines!

great day spoilt by heckling about my gorgeous tan from certain riders in the notts area(yes i mean u vdubber ;))nice to see you again mate.

75k in 4 hours, that’s good going Rich! Any ideas what Nick Craig did it in?

Was a beautiful day, I like the quarry and woods they added at the end compared to last year, made the last 10km fly by.

I’m glad I had a FS and the SB8 tyres worked a treat. Just a shame I was so unfit, but did have a great time, and a 2nd wind at about 50km. Also managed to use all my recently learnt Jedi skills on the off camber stuff as well as those fast and straight downhills.

I even took a wrong turn because I liked the look of one corner, thanks to the chap who stopped me going too far!

Looks like a dogging convention! 😉

I did it in 3.28 nick got a flat at around 25 miles in then came past me with 10 to go so he must have done it in around 3.20ish.

Really enjoyed the event. To those that threw their sports bar and jell wrappers on the trail – thanks – not

Likewise mate, butI swear that’s creosote, not a tan!

Milkybar-Did you get a finishing position?I asked as i finished (they usually tell you if you ask) but they were pretty busy when i came through.I got 3.45 on my computer so would be a few places behind you.I hope i was 1st single speed!

I was 11th or 12th i blew & went from 7th 2 11/12 in the last 3 miles.

Taaa.That last climb climb through the quarry owned a fair few people.I usually just get quicker the further I go…shame it was’nt 100k!!

I think on the next one i will take the race bike i was on the winter one with a single 39 ring on some of them hills it was a bit hard to turn the pedals but was still good fun.
