This weekend I went to Clunker Classic. Annoyingly I couldn't be there on the friday night for lots of drinking/crashing/throwing rocks at rocks as I was working. I didn't get home until 3am on friday night. Remembering that I'd promised to get a bike ready for someone and I was still wide awake I went down to see what I could find. About and hour of quiet fiddling I came up with this monstrosity -
I was riding the same bike as last year, with the addition of operational brake pads.
I managed to get an hour of sleep in the car. We arrived at about 11 and as soon as the bikes were out of the car and built we were in the pub. Even with 50+ people turning up at a pub all at once the bar staff coped quite well. 3 pints later and we were walking up the hill. Cheese and crackers at the top of the hill and a look at the view before hooning it back down again.
Here's a video someone made of the race down. You see me coming past on the right at 3:15 into the video

I managed 10th and my brother managed to win it!
All in all a good weekend.
