Mountain Mayhem 24 hour mtb race

Perfect. Only manage 1 lap to my 2, and I can then claim to have beaten a world champ ;-)

Wrong sport. Also if you're in a team then even if I only do a lap I'm beating you by racing solo :P

If it's a 24hr, what's the Friday for? Presume the race is Sat/Sun so do you need to be there Friday?

Also if you're in a team then even if I only do a lap I'm beating you by racing solo :P

I'm entered into the solo :-)

what's the Friday for?

They just like to make a big weekend out of it, and have more time for drinking.

I'm going to Metallica gig

Sick.

Oh, I thought you were racing in a team?

Out.

Singlespeed?

Still out.

can't tell if serious

but also don't care

long time fan and haven't seen them since the 90s in Melbourne

Solo, but geared. I don't think they have a separate SS category anymore.

srs. Long time fan also. Though not as long as you because I'm still young...

I'll be dying after Met gig. Wanna watch me neck a 1L bottle of JD? It'll be fun for the first 3hrs...

"Is it worth servicing the old shocks on my Kona A or should they just be replaced with something off ebay? I mean, no sensible person would spend money on this bike but if I do enter one of these things it would be cool to finish on a £90 bike."

Somehow I got a bunch of mates to get tickets as well. I didn't realise there was still love for 'em but we have a whole bunch going to their Twickenham gig. Do you know what a cassette tape is? ;)

"Singlespeed" ?

Really depends on how knackered they are. Clean & oil vs replacement parts :-/

There's also this event a month later. http://www.twentyfour12.com/

The third gender

Dunno what's going on there really. I didn't see a singlespeed category when I entered.

I have no idea. I never had proper suspension before. I've tried adding air to the rear one (bought a shock pump) but it doesn't last long so I assume some seals are fucked. I don't even know how suspension is supposed to work, it's probably set up completely wrong anyway, I've only ridden this thing on road.

Yes, I'm not that young!
I had a hand me down walkman from my older sister for which I only had one tape. Europe - The Final Countdown.
Following this I received my first CD which was Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi.

Ride the Lightning is the best album. I will fight you if you disagree.

Too many gears make you go blind...

I will win that fight.

I can't pick a favourite album. Toss up between Kill em all, Master, Justice. I like a lot of the Garage Days/Inc covers too.

It's meant to be a good course. @AdsH broke his face there this year, but then, he does ride much faster than me.

All the more reason to get towed around.

I think I will be the one looking for a tow. If I did enter I'd probably be on my knees from the 4x600s

Say your prayers little one...

the whiskey is subjected to loud blasts of Metallica music during the aging process, which allegedly influences the flavor.

Uh huh...

a proprietary subwoofer that amplifies the low-frequency sound waves necessary to get the juices moving, which Pickerell describes as “low hertz sound waves so intense that it actually enhances the molecular interaction and ultimately the finish of the whiskey.”
