oops fell off before I got there

you can tell I'm not cut out for being a Muppet

 

The race was very much an uphill one.

DH's all very well, but as has already been said, any ponce can ride flat out down a mountain, clad in body-armour, on a 35lb full-suspension bike. The hard bit is having the strength/skill to climb the mountain too.

Check the results on the SXC Website. I entered the XC-2 Glentress race and came 29th out of 39, which I was pretty chuffed with - bearing in mind that a) it was my first race and b) before January this year I'd not been on a bike for over 4 years. Mind you, there were some downhills during the race though - stuff like in the video I posted.

Oh, and SiPie - the lack of 5-star hotel would be a problem if I'd been intending to stay over, but I would have only been coming up for the day anyway.

 

markO i was 4th

 

4th in what? Can't see a Ciaran here - or is Andrew your real name?

 

only kidding i couldn' do that far to energetic!!

 

Ah. Did wonder....

Mind you, that's what I thought, but it's a good laugh. Hard work, but good fun. The depressing part is when you're halfway round your 2nd lap, and some 'Elite' bloke piles past you twice as fast as you can physically manage, and he's already on his 3rd lap (depsite starting at the same time!).

 

Certain Cup Final is on next w/e!! DOH!!

Could maybe fall off a hill on Sunday.

 

Dougstter we willl se bugger off MTB here!!

 

Was there meant to be commas included in that last post??

Remember and wear a helmet next time you fall off m8!!

 

sorry loon was pissed as fart when i posted that

 

Hey Ciaran - do you still want a lift down to Q E Forest?
I'll be in Oban until Friday, but I'll then go down from Aberdeen, via Dundee. Tell me your phone number, and I'll give you a ring, if u still want lift...
I now have a bike rack, but it's for 2 only. I reckon the other one will fit inside though.
Chris.

 

sorry mate looks like my fekin boss fuked up again wont be able to make it!!
maybe another time!!

 

Take it this is cancelled then.... seeing as we have a grand total of 2

 

Ah well.

Si, if you still fancy it, what about meeting up at Glentress at that weekend?

 

well sorry again boys how about the weekend of june 28th?

 

28th could be good for me.

If anyone fancies heading down to the Borders, I'll be:

a) At Glentress at 9am this Sunday (1st June) and

b) At Innerleithen next weekend, to do some riding and watch a bit of the DH comptetion there.

 

Hi there. Been away for the last week.
A total of 2?
Better forget that one then.....
Is anyone still going? I might show up if someone else is...Or I could do Glentress, but it's a bit far for me to go down there.
Try again another time!

 

well we will start again people may be more keen now the weather is a bit more consistant?

so anybody?
