Good to meet up with you lot, albeit briefly. I will at some point do Mayhem on a retro bike . On my skanky modern steed I ploughed on through, stopping twice for some rest. I came 21st in the solos, pipped to 19th by a measly 1 second! Not bad for a first attempt, though how the winner (James Braid) did 26 laps is beyond comprehension.
I saw daj a few times out on the course and some of you lot, well done to you all. Maksters video sums up the conditions nicely. My memories of the course include:
1: Bloke half way up a climb with his iPhone out taking a picture of the mud
2: Bloke at bottom of the grassy climb stretched out smoking a roll-up
3: The sickening thud and subsequent silence of one of the competitors crashing on one of the descents - badly. I reckon he broke something.
4: The two marshal girls on the last big climb shouting "'ere, 61 you've been out all night"!
5: One of you lot commenting on my chest wig as I rode most of the course with my jersey open
Congratulations retroyetirigid!
