Wow, what a weekend!! So much to write about but I'm absolutely knackered so I'll make this a quick one and I'll try and get a write up of the weekends events tomorrow.
Apart from the Friday night booze and bbq filled pre-race party (with our official groupy Carl "I can jump almost anything" Thomas providing the majority of the entertainment). I think we drank far too much (well... I speak for myself, Dave and Carl) to be properly prepared for the following days race, but we woke on Saturday ready for action.
The course was mostly uphill (more than 3/4 I'd say) and very very bumpy!! There were "some" technical sections through a forest including a water drop, but the majority of the course was uphill bumpy ass numbing grass track. 1000's of spectators, 100's of sponsors, and at least 1600 riders with 100's on the track at any one time... thats why it's called Mountain Mayhem I suppose :)
Some piccies to wet your appetite (more to follow in the next few days, alot more!!)
