 A Massive thankyou to Pronghorn Racing, for lending me a PR6 to solo on!
The course was amazing sunday morning, despite being on the tail end of a solo ride, i was putting in hour laps.
not that it takes much to convince me, but i will definitely be back next year!

 Yay for Pronghorn! Fast bikes, those. Did you win? 
|
|
 Sport Women team was won by a bunch of Peak Midweek gurlz, well, two regulars, a Peak Midweek occasional and someone they tricked into riding with offers of chocolate etc. Top effort. Also, twelfth in men's solo and highest places solo singlespeed rider was another Peak Midweeker, Rich Naylar who had an absolutely blinding ride and is now thinking about actually training for it next year  Yay for us, a bunch of random trail riders who seem capable of going quite fast

 It was dry? Damn, I wish I'd gone now
|
|
 not totally dry, however by recent Mayhem standards ....
|
|
My forks broke on my first lap, leaving them permanently locked out, so i did a few laps of rigid SS, before ditching the bike in the pits whilst running around the arena asking manufacturers for a bike. Pronghorn delivered. I managed a few more laps, but my shoulders were ruined, and i had to take a break, in the morning my laps were stonkingly fast though. I even found myself sprinting for that one extra lap after 24hrs
|
|
 A break? 11:50 minutes!? Wish I'd gone, humbug!
|
|
Well, i may have fell asleep unintentionally... on the plus side of things, my neck was better afterwards 
|
|
Any idea about nxy yrs event, some one said it could be in Derby or Margam park
|
|
Really? Derby presumably means Catton Park, which is the site for SiTS usually. Margam would really surprise me, more technical and much much hillier. Why they can't find a more all weather venue I don't know, if someone spits on the Eastnor course it turns to a quagmire!
|
|
 Was Team McCoy there?
|
|
not sure there there was a team in Blue and red kit with JMC on it, could this be them??? I heard the contract an eastnor has ended and they have been looking for a new venue, also mentioned was the Glan Usk estate nr Crickhowell Wales. your right they need an all weather course, may be now its the time for them to do it.
|
|
The problem with alternative Mayhem courses is the space you need for the arena and camping and stuff. The actual course itself is but one of many considerations.
|
|
Mike, I think your clock is broken - I see no hour laps
|
|
not sure there there was a team in Blue and red kit with JMC on it, could this be them???
No. They, their pit crew, ents people and roadies wear orange.
|
|
Well, the first one was
|
|
Mike I agree with what your saying, Margam has the space but the coures would have to be a tougher, but its a better alll weather course I think. There are a few places here in Wales that they could hold it remember they used to hold NPS rounds and 4 cross/downhill at Forest fields massive camping site even got lakes there now, its got a bit of everything, Cheers Kerry
