Good luck to all you racers today :)

Hope you have fun..

Well what fun that was.. They had changed to route since you lot did it on Wed, VW wanted his £3 back :x :x the wooded section claimed many a rider as the rutted corners where very greasy.. Good course though. The whippets whizzed up the hills and then where overtaken again by me flying down the hills :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good mix of terrain at Danbury and the usual cross field bit as well :wtf: all in a good race....

Theyvchanged the bomb hole section :thumbdown: but it did leave a nice jump :)

The hole thing was just over 9 miles long.. doing a lap in about 16 - 18 minutes. The lap computer they had setup showed I did it in 1hr and 12mins..

A few people where falling off :clap: :clap: as some of the corners where getting very greasy and the routes where grabbing at your wheels :lolno:. A good course though as some good bits in the wooded sections....

Started this well before the off and forgot to turn it off afterwards for a while :roll: :roll: :roll:

No bomb hole! best bit.
I liked the bomb hole and the bmx switchbacks.

I'll have a look on endomondo.

Had a right blast today! Really bought home how unfit I am tho! Blimey those long fireroad/ grass field areas really took it out of me. Loved catching them in the woody bits just wish there was a bit more of it.
There were quite a few fallers on those routes, One guy I saw stack it into a tree and land in one of the big mud puddles! Whoops

Real good to meet some of you guys off here made I abit easier knowing what was going on.


Off to wash the bike now.
Any more rides coming up?

Hi guys! I was there today, getting some camera practice in (a little bit too much lycra and pedalling for me to want to actually take part ;) :lol: ), I didn't end up taking all that many shots but if anyone interested posts their number, I'll see if I snapped you. It's my first time shooting anything XC-related, so was a bit of a learning curve, some came out o.k though!

In case anyone had time to look around while they were going hell-for-leather, I was the mud-splattered photographer (I got a little too close to a puddle in one of the wooded bits - worst thing was it didn't even make a good shot :x ).

Chris
