Caroline second in the series - a great achievment IMHO.

Forgot Gary Foord winning at Mammoth too...

Tim, did you race any of these events in this year (if so, who for?)??

Mr K

Did train for 94 season, but could not find a deal to take me to world cups ( and pay me ), could of raced in the UK, but decided it was time to get a ' proper' career going - thats if you call Leisure Centre Management a proper career

Re: Query

Mr K

Probably Dalby Forest BMB round in 1991 - I was on fire that day and me and Dave Baker blew Gouldy out with about a lap to go and I got away from David in the woods before the finish to win. Internationally 1991 worlds were good - 7th. Had six or seven top tens in Grundig World Cups in 1992. and ended up 10th overall.

This makes me think: What happened to David Baker?

i think he retired after the 96 atlanta olympics

DB was diagnosed with a heart condition and retired from the sport, last I heard he was running a cyclists cafe in the Peak District. Top bloke, once met him at Newnham changing after a race, stark bollock naked. From that point known as Big DB :shock:

 

[Dave_H]

Most of these guys are still connected to this sport somehow. His he one of them? Does anyone know? (just curious...)

Edit: Oh, he was a great rider, that´s a bit sad to know... thank´s, mate.

I think he started some landscape gardening business.
