USN #3 Big Red Barn

[WrightJnr]

I rode the 50km from B batch. As always, a great ride at RB. No bottlenecks for me and the water points were well stocked. Some mud and lots of dust. Perfect weather. Awesome day out.

some real d*ck wanna be race snakes out there.

 

Take a chilli pill..

Rode the 30km in E batch (yes, a very serious racer lurking here) and had awesome trails, a few bottlenecks where the people were going just too slowly for the trail, and tons and tons of people on the trail with punctures.

I will definitely be back next year, this ride was fun compared to the opf#k course at Avianto!

Does anyone know where the results are posted?

4 km in a block stoped dead on on of those little bumps. Avoiding a colision had to go right... Hit a root, over bars and sat with dislocated elbow. Also have a piece of wlbow that broke off and getting a opp tuesday.

 

My gripe is the " medics" tiok basicly almost a hour to get to the main jeep road i walked to.

 

Then they took me back to the venue, so basicly a taxi. Waited there around 30 min, no ambulance, eventualy my mate took me.

 

No i understood usn races are suppose to have emergency vehicles?

Fine it was just a dislocated elbow and a broken elbow join... But i expexted more.... What if someone has a serious crash? I wasted almost 90 min where they said oh some one will be here now.

 

The medics where clueless what to do and said o sorry. We dont know the route, ahould it not be scoped by medics before race? Same with ambulance, when getting back to venue, oh we will phn it but it doesnt know the venue so will take a while

That's very unfortunate. Heal up soon

I saw there was a photographer at the end. Anybody know where the pics will go up?

[s14phoenix]

Honestly I think there is never any pictures... I had an OK day out there and did not get held up much really - so that was surprising.

 

Bad luck with the crash and I really hope you heal up quick. Medics is something no event should skimp on. Do we need a motorcycle situation on a MTB event before this gets addressed??? Someone needs to fix this - very concerning!

You should take this up with USN... I'm sure they will want to get to the bottom of this. Albe is a mountain biker himself, so I'm sure he would want an event that is upto peoples expectations.

Tnx will do

Sorry to hear about your wounds. Hope you heal up real quick! The organizers need to stand up and be counted here: +60 minutes to receive iffy medical care is not on! You didn't have a headache, it was a broken bone FFS

Who can i phn on what nr?

I thought this was the most enjoyable race of the series it was fast flowing and lovely single track a bit of mud and a lot of dust i think a lot of people struggled with tyre tech issues Punctures etc Does anyone want to share what technical difficulties they had ? and to RoboJedi the Best wishes on getting strong again

[s14phoenix]

Most annoying thing was the front wheel sealant sprinkler I picked up 15km in and then it sealed just as I stopped to plug it because it would not seal.   so I jumped back on and had to catch the group I was hanging onto - never really the same as I spent a lot catching up.

I liked the rollers and berms included in the course. Overshot almost all the first lot of bumps across the road - had a few flat landings which wasn't my intent - and a "awesome jumps dude" from someone behind - which was cool.

I also had a nice tyre sealant shower towards the end went over a jump landed a bit heavy and think i was just to low on pressure and had my whole front tyre bead pop open and give me a nice gooey glue shower was most enjoyable    but dropped a bomb in and of i went again also trying to play catch with the bunch i had been stuck with but still what an awesome ride loved the trails
