Don\'t let anyone tell you different - Sunday 21st September was a cold wet
day in Gwavas forest.
The stream was out because it was too high but that didn\'t mean that the
course wasn\'t challenging. There was more than one person who admitted to
walking their bikes down some of the greasy root-covered drops and several
people cited the cold as a contributing factor in deciding to post a DNF.
It wasn\'t all doom and gloom though - CHB had arguably the best run event of
the year and their BBQ (including two spit-roasted sheep) was a winner. I
also overhead quite a few positive comments about the course - \"a
challenge\", \"a great time\", \"a bit of a tester\", & even \"so, who wants to do
that again?\" (Did I mention that it was cold?)
Sorry that the comments are a bit short of details, but I spent as much time
as possible inside and in front of the computer. I can say that it was great
to see Paul Whibley who had carb problems, in the RESULTS: and also a real eye-opener to see how quick Chris Birch is. Let\'s hope that he can produce similar results
at the ISDE in Brazil.
