darrell,

I had been using specialized for years but recently tried some giro codes and they are so comfy and so far have been ultra reliable !

i stuck up for him last time but after this i agree the guy is a complete ****t

3 rings ….. pah

xx ?

the guy on the bike held his temper well, i would of at least taken the wing mirror off …… maybe im just an angry person.

With Mayhem only two weeks away i hope the organiser's inform everyone to take extra care and lock them up !

Just got back from Bristol , people this morning were saying a white van came last night and left at 5am this morning. sketchy details as heard a few different things. Looks like they knew what they were after as mainly real high end carbon bikes taken.

one side of our tent door was open this morning … we had 3x spark rcs and 1x sc superlight, they were locked so i assume they didnt fancy it without waking us ! Makes me livid …… if i had caught someone in my tent trying to get my bike ,i would have beaten the living crap out of them .

"Do people really change their tyres that often?"

when racing and If the conditions change that much, then yes.

dry = racing ralphs
damp= rocket rons
wet= storm 1.8's

Kitz_Chris did you do the 37:35 first lap ? i came close on my last lap with a 38:05. Great weekend !

I love that last bit of single track!

i will have a link to my Dad's photos soon.

Cheers

rider found . panic over.

any one?

yeah i shave my legs … up to around the boxer short line. Kind of weird when out in public wearing normal shorts … esp on train to work etc few funny looks. But as njee says its a great opener ….

weather is looking good 😀

Was super sketchy at the start in the tree's with sun glasses on ! I should of done a quick pre ride of the course !! Glad you enjoyed your first xc race ….its very addictive

It was a much better course than the muc off 8 held their earlier in the year. I dont think any one was quite prepared for the heat i did a large bottle every lap ,nice to race in the dry though !! Got some mad tan lines !

crossmarks ?
