Looks like a prize from one of those crane grabber thingys at Blackpool, aweful IMO.

Good Event and well organised, thanks. Nice technical course with a gnarley decent on the other side. You need to get rid of the bit where you do the climb, turn back on your self for a short steel bit then have to get off and run up that small lump. The small lump was pointless IMO. Nice climb though.

Some of the non racers looked like they were “sandbagging” with the times posted, maybe set a “benchmark” time so the guys under 14 mins a lap have to enter the “racer” cat.at the next event. Oh and start the race from the carpark at the bottom, nice long climb to string it out before the narrow section. Cheers.

Thats all I know :wink:

Anyone got a result list for the top 10/20 for the racer catagory?

xherbivorex, Thanks for marshalling as I think I know where you stood, you where right on the ridge with a nice breeze!! Brownbacks, good event and well organised but would have liked to been off at ten as stated as my nads were dropping off at the start ;-)

Makes a change from road racing, not done a mtb race for donkeys, must get a MTB this side of 1980 and have another bash.

Cheers to all the marshalls and organisers. Jason.

Just tighten them till they squeak, otherwords FT !!

Tacky Max = rubbish, I shop at the designer outlet Matt Allan :-)

On the plus side she has a nice set of fun bags :lol:

How many riders were in the “racer ” race, and whats the maximum allowed.

I am going to enter the next one (if its not full) but need to get a new frame as I snapped mine last week, so sticking to RR till I find another :-(

Cheers

Contacted a local Trek dealer and they have been great, a replacement rear triangle is £ 140.00 and its cracked in exactly the same place Uncle Fred said, Its not too expensive but the bikes on its last legs and I have spent quite a bit on it already so not sure weather to get a replacement or try and get some catch together and buy a complete new bike.

Bit skint at moment though ;-) so looking for a cheap rear triangle thats all, as MTBing is a means of getting a very quick, hard 1.5 hrs of training in when ive had enough of the chain gang/racing etc on’t road.

Trekcol, can you do me a deal on a Top fuel 9 :lol:

Im from the darkside and currently have a Madone and this is my third one :lol:

Oh, and as noone else said it, your cock. Lubed or un-lubed take your pick.

Must have a touch of sand in his vagina.

A little bit of Vaseline, simple its waterproof and clean.

So no one got one ?, none on flea bay either :(

If your thinking about it its too late.

I assume all the rear triangles are the same size, and that the front triangle changes the size of the frame overall.

I bought the bike second hand it must be about 3-4 years old. Just doing my usually training loop and razzing down a technical single track with a small jump :oops:, it snapped on the chain stay just behind bottom bracket on the pivot.

Im sure Trek will tell me to bog off!!

Racing Ralph is the winner :lol:

“STOKED” Hey dude that jump was totally radical dude, im STOKED!!ETC ETC !!

STFU!!!!!!!!! YOU N0B HEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:

hugo rune MTFU and get a grip.

Shaun is the “new young gaffer”

Very helpful and knows his stuff.

I would recommend him and his shop for repairs and sales :D

You would make a fortune if you opened a Banjo shop. :P

I still think it is the most beautiful build ever shown on Grand Designs and wonderful to see that the owner is so humbled by his efforts that it still makes him emotional now thinking about what he achieved. He was a bit of a wet, but I have huge respect for what he has done there. If I didn’t already live in Yorkshire, I would certainly book a stay there myself.

Next year I am carrying my bike up and riding down

Thats a terrible statement, how very dare you indeed.

I intend to ride up it (without dabbing) and then ride down it on a Chipper, IN A DAY, next year in the bleak of winter wearing only a mankini.
(With no water and eating only half a tic tac)

and after “like road clean wit tongue”

Its for “charuty mate!”

RADTASTIC DUDES.

Amazing what they could do “back in the day”

I could do “arials” and the like in 1983 on a BMX, but nowt compared to these guys. :mrgreen:

Another titanium machine for you.

Gutted im in Mallorca training!!!

Would have loved to have attended :wink:

Looked like a mini leisure centre. All it needed to finish it off was a few Hoodies fagging it outside.

Hammer hits nail perfectly on the head.

I’ve used assos for years, started to also use the new giordana longs and shorts from last year.

A third of the price and in my opinion feel better, even on 100 + mile rides, would find it very hard now to justify buying some assos shorts.

If you want to be smug, stop putting you weights, power outputs etc on here, lets see your “palmares” :wink:

Then we will see a ” cycling pecking order”. :roll:

LUV IT…!
Any of u pencil thin dweebs wana take a 17st lard arse like me on a TT I’d be well up 4 it. SOme of us fat dudes might be part time but wev’e got sum big powerful legs. granted most of u wud murder me on the hills but on the flat 500W on a progressive ramp suggests I can lay down a bit o power.

CMon Big boys stand up 4 urselves…! lol

PS bit of a hypocrit tho since currently saving for a Scale and desperate to become an XC whippet but wi genes like mine it cud be tough..!
PPS any tips to keep leg strength whilst fat burning greatly appreciated

You sir are a legend, being able to sustain 500 watts at your weight = 4.62 W/per Kg. Very Good indeed…………………..if its true 8)

Was it it the Times :roll:?
