Epic fail

 Was  much, much more difficult than last year's course. There really wasn't  that much enjoyable bits, unlike last year's course which was great fun.  There were quite a lot of injuries that I saw also, one chap with was  whisked off with a neckbrace on. Makes me want to get some suspension on  the bike as through the rocky stuff I was just too slow compared to the  others.

That's what I've been hearing. I should have been there riding the 24hr as a mixed pair with my other half but I'm at home nursing a broken collar bone instead. She went down to compete anyway as her parents live around the corner but she didn't enjoy it and has been telling me about the number of injuries and loads of people walking the technical sections. She's ridden the last three years either solo or with me so she's pretty pissed off at the change in the course.
Bad luck with the chainring. Did you really ride fully rigid?
