Lots said already but another great MM weekend. Rain held off enough to keep it enjoyable and keep laps a bit interesting.

Highlights for me

mid lap on course heckling with/inspired by Heathy
The hard route downhill, “mad skills” required.
Not crashing all weekend
Knocking off the unicyclist on L2
Alcohol induced dwarf conversation on Friday night

Lowlights

The numpty who crashed into my rear disc/qr on lap 1 on a fireroad!
3am Sunday ‘trainspotting’ experience
No gorillas or disco in the woods
M1 drive home. Clutch cramps.

 

[CAS]

Great to put some faces to names from the forum -s hall sign up for a team next time!

 

[Sidewinder]

What can I say that hasn't been said already except a big "up" to the RB team for the organization of the weekend and to say that my Highlights were
watching a Girlie come down the descent of doom on a UNICYCLE!!! and lowlight was seeing a "flyer" come down the same descent at speed and lose his rear wheel ,ouch !! am already planning the paracetamol and ibruprofen for the next one

That was my first mayhem and I really enjoyed it,although getting up at 3am Saturday to get there and then not being able to sleep until Sunday night was 'interesting' (too much caffine :twisted: )
Big thanks to the rest of my team,especially Cchris2lou after I forgot it was my lap next
Retro camp was definatey the best place to hang out and I can't belive my fastest lap of the weekend was on the Fat Chance
C u all next year :!:
