To
day is one of the hottest days of the year
so far, Kidder & Chiefy are sorting there
lives out for the Big Welsh MBR
Enduro. 2 laps of a hot, dry,
dusty course. The pair chill-out (If
you could in the heat) waiting to
have the bikes sensors check before the
start. The gun goes off and all the
competitors sprit off except Kidder &
Chiefy who cruise over the line and off
down the course to the first climb already
passing people who have struck problems.
At the next narrow hill climb the trail
come to an abrupt holt, so the pair sit on
a log and wait for the competitors to
disappear over the hill. Kidder & Chiefy
chat up the sexy roving marshal's, (The
babes from Australia). Once the
bottle neck has gone the pair get on with
some hot riding, spinning the cranks up
oven-hot climbs to the feed station. With
a quick fill they are off again into a
tricky little downhill section, all clear
and onto the long, long, hot, dusty
fire-road climb back to the other
side of the feed station. The pair fly
down the fast winding fire-road to the
next tough grassy hill climb, that licked
they hoof it up the sun blasted climb over
the ridge and downhill back to the race
village.
~ Tea Time ~
Lap 1 bagged and lap 2 put on hold
for a tea stop at the cafe. Lap 2
was a different route to start with, but
it was no easy thing the heat was starting
to get to them and slow the pace down big
time. Kidder pulled away from Chiefy
at the feed station, so he had to try and
make catch-up.
 The
last hill climb was totally draining.
The pair refused to get off and push
they just dig in for the finial summit.
~ Last Lap ~
Kidder was the first back over the line
followed by Chiefy some 11 odd minuets
later, they reckon the biggest
high-light was receiving the medal of
honour from the MBR babes,
Kidder nearly suffocated in her cleavage
....... Did you get her phone number
...!
Chiefy returned his High5 gel mix, vie his
throat & then had some shut eye for 20
mins before coming to his senses, Kidder
through he'd pass away, the old git....!. |

Kidder &
Chiefy take 20 min's
