I done a pig roast at a wedding this evening and noticed a MASSIVE motorhome with ‘Madison Saracen Downhill Mountain Bike Team’ written on the side of it. Who are these guys???????????

weather bring you out from under your rock?

“I done”?

I think you mean, “I did”.

Really well structured and informative replies there folks, thanks!

seems to be a youth development team, good to see saracen back making decent bikes. my first ever mtb was a blue tuff trax.

where have you been? their team are a bunch of youngen’s, mannon carponter doing incredibly well at the womens at the world cups for her age and length of time shes been racing them!

harry malloy and manon carpenter are pretty big names

manon shaping up to be a big name on the world cup circuit

Just outside of Didcot. Their team van, I assume, was parked in the barn in which the wedding was situated. Seem like they’ve got something going for them, then.

phil atwill rocks! he’ll be winning more races soon, i tell ya.

Manon Carpenter is current junior DH world champion and last year’s junior World Cup champion. She’s the next big thing and seems lovely to boot.

Just noticed Marc Beaumont has tweeted a couple of tweets about their (Madison Saracen) team manager, Will Longden, getting married yesterday. There were probably a few more MTB greats there. Was it here?

Congrats Mr and Mrs Longden!

Wow lol. Yes it was there. They all seemed a really nice bunch of people. Is Will Longden a mtb great then? o.O

Will is a proper northern star! 😀

That tickles me.

I take it you’re in to bikes, but had no clue you were catering at Will Longdens wedding…. And hence surrounded no doubt by a good portion of MTBing great and good…

Yeah cookeaa, I’ve only been into MTBing for a few months :p

Hahahaha, this thread is great.
