'Well would you believe it, yet another beautiful sunny
October's day, the last warm day of the year'
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. 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 1,200+ rides had a bash", one hell of a turn
out.
Everyone seemed to be in good spirits for the event. Chiefy had
a front flat, so had to stop for a quick fix. 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!'. |

this event seriously?'
'To have & to hold
& not come off your bike
at warp speed
in a corn field'
'Bless you'
'Go forth & ride'
