Sleepless In The Saddle

The beacon completed this muddy marathon just outside the top ten. Well done you guys it was tough in those conditions but you did great. I even found my ring it was caught up in my wet muddy track mitts in the wash bag.
whoo hoo So till next year.

Glad you found your ring Chris. I just made what must have been the quickest ever visit to A&E, had my wrist x-rayed and was out in about 10 mins flat with it confirmed that I was just being a great big wuss - nothing broken.

So, next year, WITH a jet-washer then?

Well done guys (and bird!)! The joy of the mud bath. I was lucky enough to be able to share a personal jet wash with the team camped next to us when I did my 24hr ride. Super useful!

How was the course? Looked pretty flat from google maps!

Thats great to hear Ruth shame you had to sit out but good result in the end. Next year it is then. I do feel incredibly beaten up though. My neck and shoulders are really stiff from hitting that tree with my head lol.
