Hey Bob. I was wondering where were you hiding all this time.

Been racing though busy and Spain work and the chickens.
I need to change the week to 8 or 9 days long to fit it all in .
Have been riding with Spencer a few times , he is out sick till Jan 15.
Looking forward to next year . Got to get fit .

Round 1 results go from about 25 minutes a lap to 40+ for the 4 hour race. I only entered the 2 hour race (more of an outing for me) as long as i finish i will be happy. Hopefully will have my bike fixed in time, don't fancy doing it with the 4 gears i have available right now.

Happy Xmas to all and a fun new year.

I have been told the laps are normally 6-7 miles each. Don't know what the going will be like, wet and sticky maybe. Read on a forum they have been out strimming some of the route so i guess its not a well established trail. Have to wait and see.

Hi Folks,

Entered the 2 hr. 40+. My race number is 87 so if you see a white boardman, no 87 and a red camel bak say hello! Last race was 6 miles per lap. This track looks like a different one(different start location in the forest). Last race got very muddy in last 2 laps so will be bringing a mud tyre (decide on the day to fit or not).

Remi, where are you hiding and don't use your wife and kids as an excuse. Maybe I should introduce you to road biking and improve your fitness!!!

Hi 882 4hour pass me in the first mile .
Bob

152, white, black and red Giant Trance. Say hi just after you have said 'on your left' to me.

Scarper good to see you at the start line. Bob, sorry I didn't see you but well done for completing 4 hr.
Finished 53 out of 91 in 2 hr vet (I think I need to get fitter!!!). Course a lot flatter than round 1 no bomb holes to content with. I fitted mud tyre on front but it wasn't as muddy at round 1. A lot safer as well only witnessed one fall.

But the single biggest mystery is where is Whytey??? Come on mate---don't tell me you crashed sometime ago and are recovering because you certainly can't use the wife and kids excuse

OMG someone tell me why i entered this...... 2 1/2 hours of pain where do i sign up for the next 1? Course was just shy of 7 miles, pretty firm although a few places got boggy after the first lap. Placed 79, not great but i finished which was the goal for my first bike race ever. Gives me something to beat next time Bike stayed in 1 piece which is more than can be said for me, separated a muscle in my knee, but nothing that won't heal. All in all a good day with just 1 heavy downpour of rain and some funky music played over the PA system

How many laps .
Should have seen it at 4 hours .PAINFULL was asked if I wanted to do another lap as I had 1 min before cut off . Should have seen my face ..... Cramp both legs Pedal , pedal pedal . no rest .
