Despite the mud I had a lot of fun! Managed 5 laps and then called it a day (probably could only have got in 1 more anyway!). Thanks to the hubbers for the company, like IanJ and Zaskar said it does help to ease the misery that could have been.

 

Helped a marshall and a lady rescue her bike from the 'raging' river after she had a go at washing it off!

 

Crossmarks <> mud !!!!! Must agree with Daemon on that score. However my gears and brakes worked fine all the way. Still not sure if it was better with the glasses on or off, on they misted up and I couldn't see and off I got mud in the eyes!

 

Luckily DR built us that lekker cover overnight and didn't need the 2 gazebos Wink. Seriously though thanks to IanJ for the 'reservation' and invitation to join the crowd. Nice to finally meet Crux.

 

The venue was great and had it not rained it would have been a superb course, well done to FPC guys!

 

DR I hoped you enjoyed the Amstels later!

LittleBen on the far right against the banner of that 'sharp end' of the race photo! Pity he lost a brake pad after about 4 hours but that's how it goes.
