Dorset Gravel Dash 2019

take him to swanage...

Weirdly, we talked about going there. #areyoulisteningthroughmydevices

Join us, it’ll be a grin.

That and I very rarely see you these days

Yeah you don't even need to do the event, it's just beautiful there and you can meet us in the pub.

Also you'll be pleased to know it coincides with the Purbeck pirate festival again

Hi @pastry_bot

It is 25th / 26th May - the second BH weekend.

How much does it way and how big is it?

Thanks

@jono84 this!

Cheers dude, it's going in the diary

Entered the 50:50, now just need to decide between cx or mtb?

For the 50:50, I'd go mtb.

Was on a CX with 33c tyres last year , it had its moments. Hardtail without silly big tyres would be my choice.

3 sleeps to go!

Fuck off, and take holibobs with you

So, any special requests for the big white van of cargo?

Belter. Will upload some pics. Just got home.

Have some ov that!

Perfect conditions for this years event, weather and under tread.

That’s not camping, that’s squatting

Hah, GF pointed out the commandeered shelter. TCR training?

Was awful weather for standing around distributing water: few people actually needed it. I have 20 x 2L bottles still sealed.

On the other hand, only 2 crashes resulted in rescues, both on the same hill after the first hillfort, so I took the bikes while one went with a paramedic to Dorchester and the other waited for a car as I'd run out of seats. A third casualty took himself to hospital.

Were you make polo great again cap?

Saw both casualties, one crash happened just before we descended and was on his back at the bottom of the descent with a taco’d wheel and the other was sitting with his arm in a sling at the gate across the road. Both seemed in good spirits when we continued.

TCR?

Was it this long ago?

Dorset get ready....
