Fun race - Cheddar Challenge #15. Arrived in Chaddar @ 08:30 and changed
into our outfit for the fun race. A last quick glance over the bike to
ensure that it was in working order, then proceded towards the start line
for 09:30. Taking a good look around at the opposition we discovered that
there were no where near as many people in fancy dress as expected. What
the hell makes us more unique being the minority, why follow the crowd.
Start. There was the normal slow start into a bottle neck, but once past
this the whole course was 100% rideable (excellent). The course had changed
from the following year making the course longer than usual. Still there
was a lot of uphill from the start but once up onto tha quarry the race
really opened up and the men left the boys trailing in their dust plumes.
We went screaming down through wiches wood narrowly missing our heads on
over hanging branches, straight out into the start finish arena. All that
uphill looming up fast again. This time around the hill felt like nothing
was there apart from having to wait for Brad (he's unfit at the mo). The
second lap was much better that the first as I had warmed up by then. This
lap was much quicker than the first, wiches wood my favorite part of the
course went by very quickly all downhill. Straight out into the finish
arena. Now came the embarassing part, I have completed all 15 Chaddar
Challenges, I think that I am the only person that has completed all 15
since it started. But hey I won £10 for my troubles as dressing as part
man part woman. Here's to the next 15 years. Better luck next time Brad.
