Re: Re:

Team Goff were unlucky with 3 punctures and few mechanicals.. All part of the fun

Which one were you? I was speaking to the guy on the left, I think, who was explaining who Goff was ...

I was on the red Montello.

Team Panasonic rode again



Sadly 2 of us suffered from 6 punctures, at least one time cost us 45mins as I was ahead when I had mine so stopped and waited for the guy that had the last spare tube, not knowing he was further back with his own puncture.

But with the help of other riders we got sorted.

well done team Panasonic (I'm sure I saw you guys on the road), and all other participants..

Great day out, lovely track, would have been good to have camped and spend more time on site

Well organised, though missed a turn and did a few extra miles. the site, the numerous feed stations were all excellent. a huge amount of corporate support

Nae luck on the punctures, team VC Twa Lions managed to get through it with only 1 puncture, rolling to the start line (30mins late for the 100 miler cut off :facepalm: ) but we made it!

If it was the guy on the Peugeot it was Walter he blew a tub before tideswell and limped in to feed/stamp stop where after lots of faff we got him going again only to puncture his other tub 10 miles later :facepalm:

We waited a while and a kindly chap from Argentina gave him a tub and after more faff we set off again .. We caught the kind chap at base of Mam Nick and we took turns pushing him up lower slopes as a thank you

I'm on the allegro with the funky oakley's

Don't know why but I enjoyed this year more despite the weather not being as warm ..

I'm looking forward to next year already ..

I enjoyed Montello's report. It summarised the event very well.
