Absolutely - i think after another 5 mins or so it made no odds as by then completely wet through. I thought it actually got pretty warm on the way up the lower slopes of PYG although Paul Oldham rode past on his way down and just said "its grim up there"...which turned out to be an...

Never mind that, i had a wet a*rse for almost 4hrs!

Ed, Great report, you've captured the "day of hell" brilliantly. A big well done for getting round too - many more did not make the cut. It was a bit of a surprise to turn the corner and see the "lake" at the bottom of PYG - i'd recce'd the day before when it was just a large puddle. I...

ed, what gear ratios were u running? looks like could be fairly small chainrings from the pic. I used 34 x 46 compact on the front and 12-36 10spd sram apex cassette, which worked perfectly with a long cage ultegra mech and sti. The year before when flat bars were allowed i used magura...

ed - what a legend! fantastic report. every year i decide never to do it again, until the entry deadline looms when my memory has faded and assume it really cant be as bad i as i remember. of course the reality turns out to be far, far worse. however this year was a very close call as a heavy...

For anyone who rode at the Mountain Mayhem, last Sundays (26th June) British MTB Series race at Margam Park saw familiar conditions. Wet, cold…hot, dry. We arrived on the Saturday with the intention of pre-riding, but day long drizzle washed away all enthusiasm. Sunday saw the temperature rise...

Using the suit Some great pics, its now Wednesday and my legs are still recovering from the run... One thing i did discover is that my Suit actually generates more heat than the sun, although whether its on the same level as the bear outfit is probably debatable. Thanks to one and all for...

Selling out… Rather than the usual “goodbye” or “see you” for some reason I can’t help saying “keep it real” or “don’t sell out”. Hopefully I will stop it soon, but no doubt will move on to something equally annoying. Anyway, it started me thinking that it is actually a nice thing to do and...

Eye'll try to make it too, at least for the mince pies and quality street if not for the riding. The monkey trail is like ice covered teflon on a good day, so more ice wont make much odds.

gents a grand weekend. can actually still feel my lungs from the 1st lap - probably more from the run than the '89 Raleigh Mirage. Thanks to JV for prepping it up so it didnt kill me. Some great heckling too - managed to win the 10am time slot Kenda climb - spurred on by the heckling tent...

Oh, on the bontrager - jv; plse leave the overburys at home...

Ill try n make it down there up North too. Possibly on the Friday, quite likely for the Sat. Always good to be as vague as possible.

Did he propose to never do that again?! Grand weekend, again failed to do any night laps tho...next year! Thanks for all the support for the 1st lap antics, will have to request proposals to top that for next year. Sorry, ruling out solo on the Overburys before anybody gets any ideas...
