Hi there, Many thanks for
organising such a great ride on
Saturday. I and my friends had a
really wicked ride (despite being some
of the last back!) but then, we did
make sure we enjoyed the feed stops!.

Hi Guys,
Many thanks for a great day out,
slightly embarassed about you
having to come looking for us
both, but we took a little detour
to the shipping lanes lol. We had
a fantastic time, it was our first
real offroad event and it was a
real meanie. Hope you post out
times by the way as we did
complete the ride maybe a bit slow
but we have staying power lol. A
big thumbs up to all your hardwork
before and on the day.
P.S
I think I deserve a medal I went
through two cow fields.... I hate
cows!

Thanks for another great event, and
this time near perfect ground
conditions - if you could just
flatten that first big hill for next
year I think we'll be sorted.

Hello
all,
really enjoyed the event - thanks to
everyone for all your efforts. I had a
heavy fall last year (my fault!) but
did much better this year. Brought
along another rider, he had a good day
out on his first Bicyclemania - but he
beat me ! Drat ,double drat! thanks
again, good route, good atmosphere.
cheers

Andrew:
Hello,
I just
wish to thank the team for organizing a great
event. It was my first proper MTB event and as
tough as it was, I really enjoyed it. I was
still on a high from completing it the next
morning. Already looking forward to next year,
although my muscles are saying something else!
Lets hope the ground is a bit firmer!.

Andy:
Hi there,
The 2007
challenge is the first time I have entered an
event of any kind and also the first time I have
ridden for over 10 miles continuously on ANY
terrain... that said the organisation was
excellent - not a single wrong turn and all the
other riders were out for a good time. Thanks
for putting on such a well organised event - I
thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back next
year!

From Jason:
Quick thanks to the organisers - good route
(probably a bit too much road - but after slogging
through some of those wet fields the roads were
quite a relief) and the weather wasn't that bad
either. Not sure that the climb so near the start
was such a good idea though. Also I agree that
some of the markings weren't that clear - me and a
guy called Steve (hi mate) missed a turn near East
Ravendale.
All in all great fun except that I stacked big
time downhill near Nettleton and after finishing
(7th) found out that I'd broken my collar bone.
Had an op on Tuesday - no biking for 3 months!. |

Hi,
I just thought I would drop you a line to says
thanks for putting on a cracking event on
Saturday. The course held up really well to say
how much rain we had in the previous week or so.
Those that stayed away because of the weather
missed out.
The only thing
that could be improved slightly in my opinion is
the course marking. Only a small thing but I
overshot a few turns and I know a couple of lads
went off track.
Thanks again and
looking forward to next year already.
Regards.

Ian:
Thanks all
When I woke the next morning’ I’d really enjoyed
the day, only joking, it was tough though.
It’s the first event of its kind I have done, and
at 57 it WAS
a challenge, but it was very satisfying to have
conquered it.
Very well organized, hope to do many more.
Thanks again.

Darren:
Hi Chiefy & the team,
Thanks again for a fantastic event. Same crap
weather as last year but who cares. I think this
course has the makings of a real classic MTB
event. Talking to various people on the ride they
all agree that this course is one of the most
challenging they have done.
Thanks again - see you next year.
Regards.

From Phil:
What a day, well organised, friendly and that
hard I didn't even finish it. Mechanical
problems were my excuse, fell off three times,
all part of the fun though? Third time pulled
the rear brake lever out of its 'socket' - there
was no way I was going to ride down some of
those hills without a rear break! Its the first
time I have ever tried such an event and I
certainly give full marks to those who finished,
their bike handling skills must be 'A1' also
though, commiserations to the ones who failed,
its very frustrating; lets get trained up and
show what we can do next year??.
The only downside, apart from the weather, is it
would have been much better if possible, to
start off the ride on a road for a mile, that
would give everybody chance to 'string-out' or
start off in groups with a reasonable gap
in-between. I found it very frustrating that
even after the first few hundred yards there was
not enough room for all riders to ride through
that gate and continue riding up the grassed
track - some were having to push their bikes
even after this short distance as it was
difficult to get started again.
I will certainly want to ride it next year its
just a pity it is such a long time to wait - any
chance of another this year??.
Cheers, Phil

From
Paul &
Sue:
Really enjoyed the event on Saturday - despite
the mud and rain !
The course was
excellent and the organisation very professional
but friendly. We particularly liked the
cheer-leaders being there for the tail-enders as
well as the leaders of the pack. We'll hopefully
be back next year - and hoping for drier ground
!.

From David:
" I had a go at your challenge event and what
a great day I had with my mate 'Jimmy' we were not
sure about entering the event, but once we had
started it was fun and everyone was really
friendly too".
You did a brilliant job with the route and the
food.
We'll be back for the next one. (You Bet) |

" Hello,
Thank you for a great day out in the Wolds. The
event was excellent (Shame about the weather) I
have only been into mtb over the last 8 months and
this was my 2nd event I have entered. Looking
forward to more events in the future. Many thanks
for all the time and effort that you must have put
into organising this event.

From
Glynn:
" To the organisers,
Thanks for a great days riding. Shame about the
weather but we can't have everything. For your
very first event I though it has the potential to
be something as big as the Viking challenge if not
bigger. The course was fab if maybe a tad longer
than the 50km you said it was (but that's the
challenge) The views on the course would have been
glorious if the fog had lifted.
In all it was well organised and everybody was as
friendly as ever. The only criticism I had was
that there was only one food stop where I though
you could have had 2, one at a third of the way
around and the other at two thirds.
Apart from that, fantastic.
Thanks for the spot prize.
"Regards" |
