In short: first MT race, and what a one to start with. If they are all like this, im selling the bike and wetsuite
In full: I would just love to have seen my face as I crossed the line and was presented with a Worchestershire Beacon race coaster, looks great on my table at home...but I will just asking myself how can a man run down hill so fast...???

In short: Great fun! Afterwards - stiff. A day later - sore. Two days later - can't move!!
In full: My first MT event. Weather was fab. The course was exciting, at times even excruciating. Had to walk in three places (several runners dropped-out). Some of the descents were mad - who needs Alton Towers when you can scare the living daylights out of yourself here for just a fiver. Can't seem to locate the results any where yet?
