Sounds like a top weekend was had with some awesome performances despite the course/venue managing to combine the least appealing parts of Eastnor while omitting the bits that made it so memorable. Thankfully my beer fuelled muttering on Friday evening were not heeded (did I really advise "go home now and save yourselves"?) although to be honest if they had been I'd have been concerned about the clarity of decision making of those who complied (and planning on how to use this obedience to my advantage in the future).
Makster's video is great, really reminiscent of 2005 when the going at Eastnor was so heavy I managed to wear the paint on the inside of my forks and chainstays back to bare metal despite running narrow tyres. Impressive choice by the organisers to move from a poorly draining clay rich soil venue to a poorly draining clay rich soil venue (especially when it's a longer drive for me - did they not take that into account).
Really looking forward to hearing more stories and seeing more photos - Lil G must have lots, surely.
Finally, is there a consolidated list of all the Retrobike Team and Solo results (particularly the latter as I don't know everyone's proper names)?
