Mountain Mayhem 2014 sign up thread

I've a nice little 10 mile route that I've started doing on a fairly regular basis after work (working 12 hr days is energy sapping ) with the added bonus that there's a pub half way round which means I'm getting double training for mayhem ,lol
 
Just asked my sons school could I take him out of school for one day and because he's never had a day absent they've give me the ok and I won't get fined ,so hopefully I'll get down to mayhem a lot earlier than I thought

Because you can split the driving? :LOL:
 
He's nearly 9 ( birthdays the day after mayhem) and he can already operate my dads 3 ton digger and drive my quad in work ,I've shown him how to drive my discovery but luckily he can't reach the pedals yet
