just a big THANKS to the Cheviot Lions for running such an awesome event yesterday.
if you missed it , you missed a good un !
i personally did the sport - 3 laps of about 7 k each over every surface imaginable from mud thru wet long grass onto hard pack clay and up hill and down hill some slightly technical bits - don't think i could have done another lap actually.
I hope this becomes an annual event and i hope next year I'm a bit faster :-)

Great track from what I saw of it. A bit of everything. Decided in advance not to ride and support son who rode the 21km 21km 3 lap race, but once got there really wished I'd taken my bike. Certainly hope it's repeated next year.

where the hell are the results for this race !!!
but yes it was a great track and all but they seem to be letting themselves down on a fantastic event by being a bit slack on posting any results anywher that i can find on their website or anywhere else.

Agreed, I've been checking everyday and nada. No email either. However it might take them up to a week to get them up based on other community run races I've done.

just a quick 'heads up' for those that did it
or maybe for those that just want to know what it was like. I see quite a few DNF's eh.
results are on the website. use the link in the other forum - you know the results and races (or what ever its called) forum.
