I did a couple of Marie Curie ones near Bristol in '97. Wasn't much of a racer, though I did OK (5th in novices section from 90 or so )

Hiya mate.

I used to live about 5 mins from Newnham Park when I was growing up. Used to race locally to Plymouth mainly. The Tavistock Woodlands series, some races down in Cornwall, Ashburton (somewhere), the Cheddar Challenge. The names are all a distant memory nowadays though.

I'm sure I've got some old pics somewhere – was only thinking about it the other day, bet they're in the loft.

Ah, the memories. I lived in Dartington and remember doing some really good races at Coombe Valley (possibly). It was down a lane off the Newton Abbot road, just past the Pig and Whistle. There was another good one on Dartmoor based near Holne.
And, who can forget Man V. Shire Horse! Not really but there was a very good mini stage race held at the centre over a weekend. My mate and I used to ride there to warm up and camp the night, (with an extra tent for the bikes). We used to leave the pannier racks on to confuse our foes!

I raced all over the SW and Cornwall with simply the bike - Ashcombe valley, Tavistock, woodbury, Blandford, Ashburton, South molton, etc errr, loads in Cornwall that I can't think of the names....
My old dear has loads of pics from the races, trouble is I'm probably in most of them. (Gotta love parents!)
I can stick them up on here so you can see the places - maybe even see yourselves in them!
I'll have to dig 'em out of her place first - bear with me!
Cheers guys.
