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!'. |
