Was at my desk at 7.30. Really not doing well.
Full report to come, some pic's in the meantime.
For me, the finest bike there - yeah, I said it. All the best bits of "our" old bikes but with the best bits of now. And all of that is painted, not a decal in site. Top chaps at the Magura stand too.
Friday early afternoon, the calm before the storm...
Filling up...
Dusk...
The money shot Friday night
Saturday morning early doors and 30 minutes later most of the camp was fettling - I've never see so many people fiddling with bikes in one place
Baby bike meets the grown ups. It had the last laugh though.
Time for a little stroll
Way too many serious faces here.
Couple of handover shots.
Final lap scenes - the stoke was off the chart all weekend.
I can't wait to see the official photographs - they had some great spots around the course.

Re:
Thanks to all those from Retrobike who organised this weekend, and those who's passion, obsession and individual character made for a fun and relaxed time.
After a year of cycling inactivity I was in two minds whether to come and put my body through what I knew was going to be real pain (following a recent, failed, Hernia repair and another that needs repairing) The course wasn't the worst I have ridden but it was evident early on that my cardio, legs and hernia pain were going to make it hard going, my lap's consisted of short bursts, walking, nausea, shredded shins from my pedal studs, and trying to stop my internal organs bursting through my stomach wall :shock: And all the time my Explosif was trying to rip me to peices On the Retrobike hecker section I made the mistake of getting off to push up the hill and then noticed I couldn't bend my legs which is quite important for cycling I believe :cry: Thanks to the lad on our team (who's name escapes me ) who offered to finish the lap for me
Would I do it again - Damn right I would
See you next year
P.S I'll be fitter, leaner and stronger - I PROMISE

Re: Re:
You were! The super-relaxed team did more laps than us!
Although I'm not sure what happened to Liams laps, as they don't seem to have registered?
