pictures from Mayhem

I actually had 10 in my mind, but my back went pop. 32:16 on that bike on that course in those conditions wasn’t ideal :/

😀

Just the six? 😉

Fully respect for that Terrahawk! What was in like in the really muddy sections?

It looked a lot nicer hanging off the easyup than in your hands.
Were you running those white wall tyres, or did someone find some proper fat ones?

I followed Terra and the fat bike down the last descent about 7am this morning. It was brilliant. Left me for dead 🙂

Left me for dead

*resists urge to comment 😉 *

Hey Ben (footflaps) you got one of me. I’ve mailed you via Flickr. Ta.

proper fat ones. Larry on the back, Nate at the front.
the front one was my favourite.

Bloody grim is about the best way to describe it

your new Soul buried under there?

I wish that I had remembered to shave my legs…

Alex, sent you the original (10.5 Mb).

Just heard that my mates team woohar rammit won it – frickin awesome result!

They beat us into 2nd place (Cambridge CC) in 2007, must be their 3rd win there at least.

Yup them fellas are fit it has to be said – and to thin I used to as fit as them once upon a time 😥

Do they still all have beards? We concluded that was their strategic advantage….

Results up anywhere yet?

Yup they do. Stef’s (guy with the hat) beard is immense now everyone else’s are still fairly similar.

Footflaps, I won’t be in that set as I went out after 4:20pm on the Saturday.

The Brant and Terrahawk fatbike story

Nearly there…

…got the money!

Hello, bit of a long time lurker but thought I’d take the plunge and join up in order to post a few pics I took this afternoon, not great quality as just taken on the phone – no way was the fancy camera going anyway near that mud!!

I hope these guys managed to escape the quagmire and are not still stuck out there!

I did the run for the retrobike anglia/lincs ten man team 2hrs 41mins shocking that first lap was my last no chance of a second fully rigid no clearance with the only mud tyres i could get thank you brant £15 each for the geax shame you put the price up to £20 within 5 mins of seeing the mud 🙄

so glad im home showered and feed 😀

Don’t worry, they got out:

😀 I expect that’s the way most of the trade stand lot got out!!

We were lucky – OH had pinched his parents 4×4 – good thing really as the center of our camp had turned into a lake 😮

I only went as pit b**ch, didn’t turn a single pedal stroke but my legs are still knackered from wading about in the mud, massive respect to those who went out in it

In reply to who the hell is that? if its the guy in the suit I think it’s Johnnyboy666 from Retrobike.
Cheers y’all Kit 🙂

Yes Jonnyboy in the suit , four of us from Retrobike lined up at tbe front for a sprint start ! Was tough out there , found my single speed harder than ever to ride in the gloop

My pictures are up on the BC Flickr stream. The rest will be going up onto my website tonight.

24hr racing is nothing but good for you 🙂

When I saw that I couldn’t help but think of –

“How do you know he’s the king?” “He’s the only one who doesn’t have shit on him.”

Nice photos Handsomedog!

They look way too clean to have ridden that course….

results !!!

Im finding it difficult concentrate on my work till checked them.

How long normally hours/days/weeks ????

Handsomedog (Ed) – is it OK to hotlink your pics? Have posted some links on a couple of uni forums (so low enough traffic not to cause any problems), but it would be nicer to be able to put the pics up.

BTW, your link didn’t work, here’s the proper one:
Ed Rollason blog and britishcycling.org.uk photos, Mountain Mayhem 2012, Pictures by Ed Rollason.[/url]

Thanks Will! A somewhat testing weekend and my kit is completely covered in mud.

aracer – thanks for the link corrections. Yes feel free to link them into sites and blogs etc (that goes for anyone interested). If you could credit that would be appreciated and add a link to my site (http://www.edrollasonphotography.co.uk[/url%5D)

As I mentioned I have over 700 images that will be uploaded when I get back from work tonight. All will be purchasable through the site.

Look forward to seeing all the photos Ed.

Pah that’s not mud you should have seen the isle of wight festival!
much better way to spend the weekend IMO…

In reply to who the hell is that? if its the guy in the suit I think it’s Johnnyboy666 from Retrobike.

To avoid confusion he wrote it on his back:
