Anyone riding 'Soggy Bottom'?

FSR_XC

On at Newnham Park in Plymouth this weekend.

I'm hoping to go down & spectate / take some photo's.

Would like to have ridden, but pulled a muscle in back this week.

Who will be there?

I may go and spectate, depending on how I feel my revision is coming along or if I end up on the moors.

I thought about taking part to some degree but decided otherwise, I've got a distinct lack of effort at the moment and didn't fancy doing it alone for my first time!

I am thinking about competing in the next ones . . . . .

I'll be riding guys, I've already replied to the other Soggy Bottom thread, not to mention the YOGI rides thread....

If anyone wants to hook up to ride, I'd be more than happy with that as I'll be riding on my own

I'm just trying to weigh uo whether to enter in the 'Sport' or 'Masters' category, what with being an old git (36)!!!

Great photos Mark!
any of me? number 292
My wife is not all that good with a camera.
The racing was great, I have riden enduro's all year and it made a change to do something fast, enjoyable and still be able to walk at the finish.

I've searched through all 350+ pics.

Can't see No292.

I have a few side on shots. What bike / colours you got?

Thanks for looking,
I was wearing a pale blue short sleeve "bike City" jersey with black baggy shorts.
The bike is a blue and silver Trek 9.8

No, this is the closest I have:

Number 302 for me!! Cream coloured Giant with black forks and Carbon rear end....
EMBC team jersey, although was zipped open all the way round as I was dying!!

Hadn't been on the bike up until 2 weeks before Sunday, so not ideal preparation, but it's whetted my appetite, so on with the training now and see how much I can improve for the next two rounds...

I forgot how good the course always is at Newnham.... and also how much racing hurts

Wow, cheers for that photo mate... that's a really good one!

It even makes me look like I was going at a reasonable pace

Thanks again,
