yep we both manually renumber the images… and yes it does take forever….

Hopefully, he was in completely different places to me for most of the event and as I say, has nearly 2,000 images to renumber…

LOL Gary, I can't help the faces people pull when I press the trigger;0)

Currently working my way through race reports and the free download. Your order should be processed within 5 days of ordering. Sorry about being vague but I'm pretty busy at the mo…

He's finished the QC, now all he has to do is renumber them.. He has nearly 2,000 to do. Unfortunately he also has a day job, which means his pics are always gonna be a lot slower going up than mine I'm afraid:0(
Mine are always quick as he drives home while I work…bless…
Check back at the end of the week I'm sure he'll have finished by then.

Have you checked the back end of my gallery BTW? There are loads of unnumbered images in there…

Nick, there's def more than one of you in that lot. You'll have to check out the back end of the gallery where all the unnumbered pics are;0)

GaryLake, you might want to check out the section at the rear of the gallery as there are a load of unnumbered images.
Or you may just have been one of the unlucky ones that came past me when I was walking, changing cards, batteries or having a break….
Dave has around 1500 images to sort through…

Ohh ta for spotting that… Bloomin technology..;0)

Event images are now up so you can relive all the fun;0)

Joolze

Still have Mr.Joolze's images to process too and a race report to finish….

Talking to the organisers recently, I'd say there's a pretty good chance that reserve list riders will get a ride. You should hear from them in as couple of weeks I guess.

5'7" riding a small. Stem 90mm
Kitted out with XTR/XT, green hope Pro2 cos they match the decals, whitebros wheelset. It's mint;0)

Yes, but there's a £3 surcharge for entries on the day….

Well if I knew where they were I'd tell you , but I've never been to the ones in deepest darkest Scotland so that's the best I could do;0)

Nope we'll be in Kettering tomorrow;0)
Exeter was so last week….

Yep once when a car waited till I was very nearly up to the junction then turned right across my path leaving me no option but to ride straight into the side of his car with me going over the bonnet. If I'd have had time to brake I probably would have lost some fingers as the brake levers cut into the handlebars…
As I was lying in the road cussing my head off the passenger of the car came up to me and said the driver was sorry but he hadn't seen me and that his gran had just died..WTF????
I'd just had the bike resprayed and it was a writetoff. The ambulance men were joking with me that I had the loudest jersey on they had ever seen…
Turns out he was a provisional driver who didn't have anyone in the car who was qualified driver either oh and he had no insurance…Quel Surprise

The second time a dog ran into the clubrun straight into me, making me crash and bounce down the road, The owner tried to claim that I was riding a bike that was too big for me and that I couldn't handle the bike properly – I was at the time riding international stage races etc for Wales and all my bikes were custom built for me….Oh and cos I was a girl they reckoned I panicked when I saw the dog… I never saw the dog, just the tarmac!!!

And used to have at least one near miss a day when I used to commute to and from Brum everyday…ah those were the days!!!

LOL. I do have a shot of the teacakes I left on the sign for you, but left it out the selection;0)

You could of course talk to the organisers who would happily answer any queries;0)
They're incredibly experienced riders as well as event organisers. In fact Sara has quite a few solo 24hr rides to her name as well as long distance epics, both are a font of information. I think we worked it out that between her and Paul they had about 40 odd years of experience between the, both on bike and behind the scenes of many major bike races….

They have funding for 3 years but they have to bid to hold a World Cup every year. The UCI decide. Dates going in next week, so fingers crossed…

Team GB are currently still riding their Boardmans from last year, unbadged while they wait for their new Pinarellos.

Though one of the UK's best endurance riders(Ian Leitch) rode in the super master cat in Gorrick yesterday and won it…

Yep Mr.Joolze was the official photographer for the event. Images will be ready in a day or two:

Yep. At first it was great (for about 6 weeks) then it steadily went horribly wrong.
3 years later I did it all again and this time it was ace and now I'm in a ditch and couldn't be happier;0)

Yep Demo still on. Just written press release about it:0)
Will be based at the bottom carpark next to the Hub.
See you there;0)

Did a few Bob Skeleton runs down the Lilliehammer Olympic track… that was pretty cool in more ways than one;0)

Yeah I also said I'd match what PP did in sales. Though it might be easier to say I'll donate £2.00 out of each sale to Help for Heros too.
Pics being uploaded now. Dave's will be along later in the week:0)

BRitish mountain bike series:

Okay no idea how to link image so heres the link to a set of iPhone pics;0)

Surprisingly taken with my iPhone….

Entries will probably be capped at 500 for this year as the organisers don't want the event to grow too quickly too soon. There will be camping available for all if needs be as extra space has been discussed with the FC already.
Plenty of riders opted to sleep in their vans/cars this year in various spots….

Um, Amy Hunt was a few years younger when she did her first ride, makes a big difference. It hurts a lot more the older you get if you crash:0)

I think if anyone read the race report and subsequent rider comment on the Brass Monkey's event, you'd find that Romero had to drop out mid race due to a mechanical, which cost her about 15mins. She then headed back out and was running just a coupe of mins off 4th but decided to pull out with just 15mins to go due to lack of brakes…
It was her first race in appalling conditions on a borrowed bike…
I think she did well. Be good to see her at a few BMBS's next year to see if she can develop those bike handling skills. You never know she could be good, given the chance, at least she's giving it a go and is realistic to know she won't be brilliant at it straight away… She's quite down to earth when you speak to her…

Yep me an Famous Dave will be there again:-)

Okay word is that there is no entry 'cap' so to speak. However having spoken to the organisers they are keen to make sure that the event doesn't go into over drive too quickly and they will be keeping a close eye on how the entry situation goes. They do have a figure in mind that they don't want to exceed this year at least. They promise to keep you posted.
They are overwhelmed with the response this soon and are delighted that so many of you want to take on their 'little ' race! It's gonna be a corker!
