Near miss!
By the sound of it I missed you by an hour or so yesterday evening. Managed to find the other guys in the stone house after trying for ages to get a signal on the phone. Serious car issues ruled me out at the last minute.Sounds like everyone had a good time and I suspect a few sore heads this morning.
Will defo go next year as appartently there is a train that stops there that also stops about 5 mins from my front door so absolutely no excuses!

well, top weekend! Haven't go time to say much now except great to put faces to familiar names...
course was great this year, plenty of water, mud and rain, but at least it was relatively mild.
a few quotes and stories, in more detail later...
The pound coin story (I can't look at one now in quite the same way wondering what its story might have been... :shock: )
Mr Rigid
"Nothing better in an afternoon than a tepid brussel sprout" (ededwards)
Mechanicals, injuries, tales of derring do in the solitary mists of the bleak moor.
Was hesitant personally to ride singlespeed but actually it worked out really well - will certainly do next year.
Jerky - sorry we seemed not to see you much this weekend - hope you had a good time.
Photos to follow.
Same time next year boys?

Yeah paths crossed on odd ocaisions but tbh ended up hanging around with my mates who came with me. Really enjoyed the weekend, the mud was fantastic fun!
I think I only had one spill, a rather effective sideways face plant into the biggest sloppiest patch of mud on the whole ride...was so close to powering through but made too many adjustments to avoid people putting feet down in the mess and ended up running out of steam and or balance.
Will deffo be going back next year, same goes for the guys with me.
The band at the pub with the beer tent out back made for an excellent after party, great atmosphere in there.
Sorry I didnt meet that many of you, i'll do better next time!
...maybe i'll even bring a propper bike
2 showers later and im still finding mud in my hair.
