That was my first Dirtworks and I had an absolute blast, starting with the now famous church and it's congregation, (top work Christine). My prep for the race was unconventional with 7 carbo loaded beers and then about litre of water before bed which meant I was up half the night going to the loo, 4am there was voices around the fire, so I got up for an early bowl of Weetbix, so there wasn't much sleeping going on for me.

Well after a paticulary fun single track training ride last Friday night I got home and had decided to order the bike I'd been considering for the last couple of months, I started strong saying I have 4 bikes that's really enough, but as Gaz will agree, it can be hard to resist with the bike just slowly wearing you down, nagging to be brought, Anyhow it was starting to get like my unhealthy attraction for Dido (Definitely no L) so ordered it right then. Hope I like a 29er hardtail. Keen to here thoughts on 29ers.
