Do you remember ?

No (well not this one anyway): http://llanwrtyd-wells.powys.org.uk/eve ... evbike.htm

however I think it was cancelled last time round (?2001)

 

[JustKev]

maybe it was 3 Peaks that was cancelled then? Not sure - I read alot of rubbish and not all of it goes in (properly)

 

[orange71]

seems to have been quiet on the foot and mouth front for a week or so...let's hope that's a lid on it

hey, I raced a few times at the shire horse centre. Quite bizarre

shire horse centre in devon? What year was that? I had a 2nd place there in 92/3 only time I ever rode there.

yeah Mike in Devon. Think I won in 92 and 93

Real Ale Wobble is a laugh, did it a few times in the late nineties. Neck a pint of 'Old Todgers Special Ale' then try not to throw up climbing the next steep hill - you have a silly grin on your face during the decent though. There is something deeply wrong with putting beer in a Camelbak you know it's a bad idea but at the time you don't care.

Or the alternative tactic, gentle ride to the first checkpoint - and old deserted house with a roaring log fire, stay there and drink all the beer. Then gentle (wobbly) ride back to town for more drinking.

Happy days

oh yes... I'll be there this year!

mike from barrettos bikes in plymouth won it the time I did it.
given our previous close proximity I bet our paths crossed unknowingly a few times in the past

crikey, barrettos bikes! I remember him well. I am sure we passed many a time, like a few others on this forum.

I was racing Junior at the time, so easy racing at the locals Not sure which Iwon to be honest, would need to check out my trophy room to be sure

I was in sport. I thought I'd won my class as Mike was in expert, but mid-race organisers had somehow merged classes! I rode the last 1/4 lap on a rapidly deflating front tye... interesting steering
