- Tempting fate….possible dry Mayhem
Now you’ve gone and done it…. 😈
Posted 4 years agoJust been checking the longrange forcast and there’s a possibility of a dry weekend,might have to alter my tyre plans.
Posted 4 years agoThat’s torn it !!!

Mud tyres it is then 🙁It’s a dead cert, I’ve saved you all by laying a brand new lawn. It’s not going to rain for a couple of weeks now until it’s properly dead.
Posted 4 years agoOops, I just started a duplicate thread.. sorry.. best close it.
Posted 4 years agoThe fine weather looks certain to last into early next week, but then things start to become messy. A breakdown of sorts looks to be on the cards during the middle part of the week meaning an increasing risk of rain, but the details aren’t really clear. Definitely a case of watching how things develop.
The owner of the venue is connected. Her mother is god’s representative for England.
Good weather is guaranteed.
Posted 4 years agoYou will all be fine.
The years I haven’t ridden have been bone dry – the ones I’ve ridden have been miserable and wet.
I’m not riding this year so you will all be treated to lovely bone dry trails that I will be kicking myself for not riding.
No need to all thank me now though ….
Posted 4 years agoI’m sitting here looking at the site right now, it’s absolutely beautiful.
Posted 4 years agoIt can’t be any worse than last year can it….
Posted 4 years agoAnyone know how much climbing per lap there is?
Posted 4 years agoThe same amount as the amount of descending.
Posted 4 years ago1000-odd feet I believe. The venue is a steep valley so expect lots of short steep stuff.
Posted 4 years agoSimilar to last time then. Although 1000ft of short steep climbs is fairly brutal.
Posted 4 years agoAccording to the course profile released a while back 380 meters per lap in 90 meter chunks.
Posted 4 years agoSo four climbs then, ish.
Posted 4 years agoTraditionally, every 24 hour race I’ve taken part in has held off the rain until my first lap (with the exception of Mayhem last year, which decided to heap the misery on everybody equally).
This year I’m not racing, but Mr Toast is, so that, in conjunction with our frail new lawn, indicates that it will be warm and sunny.
HOWEVER, I will still be there, AND it also falls on my birthday, so I imagine I’ll be sitting in a sodden campsite with a miserable dog, weeping in the rain as I mourn my lost youth and the cruel onslaught on time.

Dry, you say? Oh, God……

Just watched the course vid on facebook – doesn’t look particularly weather proof, I have to say.
Posted 4 years agoDoesn’t look particularly good either to be honest, have to wait and see
Posted 4 years agoI’m hoping that course will have a few tweaks to it by the weekend…
Posted 4 years agoJust spent all day working on the course. It’s beautiful and bone dry even after a soaking. Get your climbing legs on!
