VIKING CHALLENGE 2004
50km Cross Country Event
Redmile, Nottinghamshire |
 |
|
The info:
The Viking Challenge 50km Off/road course
features some of the most beautiful countryside in the
East Midlands, O.K. so it was a bit sloppy & sludgy
but it kept you on your toes, or arse. This year the
Viking Challenge catered for 1,183 on/off/road
cyclists & raised monies for the Mencap &
Redmile Village primary school. |

"WELL WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT, A WET & COLD
OCTOBERS DAY"
A Wet Mud Bath
Registration was a simple affair just sign in
& say what time you are going to start & tie
on your number to the bike & at the finish
hand it into the time-keepers.
Chiefy said 'The course was very good
for a flattish part of the countryside',
the route was the same course as last year so
he new what was coming. Or he though he did,
the ground was all slippery and it made for
delicate biking skills. As last year the route
took in canal tow paths, byways, woodland
tracks, short sharp up-hills, small
down-hills, edge of fields & country lanes.
And according to Chiefy it looked like
everyone who had a mountain bike of some sort
had turned up to do this event.
"A total of 1.083+ rides had a bash",
one hell of a turn out.
Everyone seemed to be in good spirits for the
event the route was well signed and marshalled
too, the feed stations were well stocked with
juices & bananas not like some major events
Kidder & Chiefy have competed in. A big thanks
must go out to all involved in the making this
event even bigger and better than last years.
'Are you up for it next year ...........
see you there!'. |
