Well what can I say? My back is reminding me how painful that last, um, 65k's was, but gee what a blast! That was an awesome experience and one I'm gunna repeat. I just need to figure out how to keep the back issues at bay because my legs were OK apart from a weak spot at around the 82k mark. (That was because I didn't refill at the last fuelling stop as I wanted to get home under 8 hrs, and promptly sucked my last mouthful of water about 5 minutes later, with 20k's to go. So I was reluctant to eat anything because I wasn't sure I'd be able to swallow it.

A great day was had by all yesterday. Weather was absolutely fabulous, if a bit 'taters in the morning. The sun shone, there were dry bits to ride on past most of the puddles, I took enough food and drink, and the babelfish worked well to translate Donal & Phil's Scottish diatribes.

So, my dream is to become a millionaire & be able to buy a bit of land to develop into MTB heaven. My question is, how much land would you need to be able to create a continuous 15km XC track?
