Thoughts from the weekend:
-Faces old and new, great to meet some new friends.
-Friday, despite the occasional rain the evening activities made for a great night.
-Heathy’s nicknames. Mick Dundee, Ice Road truckers, Log chopper, etc.
-The presentation of riders, nothing like putting people on the spot.
-A great concours competition, some stunning entries (including one that finished 7th overall in the 1992 Grundig World Championships). Gravy Monsters Saracen took first prize on the night.
-Cigars.
-The surprise hit that is international Jenga continues.
-Ededwards scotch egg diet, it certainly plugs things up!
-Shower gel, just the 3 bottles this year.
-One lap not being enough for Elpedro!
-When you break a rib, don’t pull up at the heckling tent. Do see Orange71 though, he has strong drugs!
-A team of heroes, a man down but they kept on going. Team Bear Necessities are winners to me.
-Etto helmets, great for draining rain into your glasses and eyes.
-DJ Bernard and his light show, impressive stuff.
-The fashion sense of mr k :shock:
-Twice the bear than I expected.
-Sticky conditions, stutter bumps and long climbs.
-The loud speaker. mr_ship and I met a bloke at the motorway services on the way home who mentioned it when he saw our RB Mayhem t-shirts. His team couldn’t believe the campsite had to be cleared by 1230!

The megaphone was a winner.
The camp and position was a winner.
The people were all winnners (except for the losers).
The weather was almost a loser, but ended up a winner.
That crap dh field was a loser.
My freehub was a loser.
Eds puncture was a loser.
Fri bbq was double winner.
Retrobike as whole. Amazing. Great weekend again.

Well - that was hard work and I was glad to be in a team of 10 so that I only had to go round once. I was so slow I'm sure Sinnett lapped me on the route - or maybe I was delerious by that time!
And yes- despite sliding around a lot and walking more than I want to confess it was good fun. I heard a whisper that we may even be on for a ladies team next year - now that's a scary thought!
Oh and the best bit was the cheer I got from you guys when I finally made it past the heckling tent!
Here's a couple of photos Adrian took to start the gallery!

I forgot to mention Ededwards classic in front of the changeover area in the early hours of the morning.
