Well guys and girls. just arrived home after a 4hr drive back from Plymouth and i am absolutely shattered. Had a great weekend as we always do at the 24hr races. Full of massive highs and lows. the course was great a real mixture of XC excellence, well what do you expect from Mr Bontranger! I am now going to sleep like a sleeping thing that has had no sleep for 24hrs
The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine.
Some were running mud tires, it was very sticky in the wee hours, but the amount of rides kept it fast with a touch of "HOLY FRACK" Mr Bontranger loves his off camber rooty sections and that was awesome, very technical. Really enjoy this event, even in the wet, everyone seems happy to be there, even the competitive are courteous. Keith stands on the finish line at the end, shaking hands with those who crosss the finish line..... great way to finish a 24 hour race
Dont miss next year!

I did it last year and I t was great - could nt get my guys to go that far south this year though so we re settling with Sleepless this year as a comprimise. I ve decided I'm not missing it next year whatever though!!
was the course the same as last year?
We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

I missed last year, but looking at some of the photos from 2008, I think it was similar. I believe they made a few changes due to the weather the week before. We shall be at Sleepless also, lets hope the weather is good to us!

Id have loved to have gone as there was 2 spaces at the last minute but i felt like death so left it go.
Maybe next year.

Gutted I missed it, it sounds like it was good with a proper course not like the incredibly untechnical one at mountain mayhem.
