LOL... I'll bet there are a few people insulted by the (short) length of that list.

I note not many of your contenders partake in hot laps. They must be too shy Eye-wink

GAZZA's picture

as i recon a bottle of wine or a six pack should be the prize! HANG ON! that would be me fighting the hardest for the loot!

That list is bang on (if only Irish Ray was here though). There are a couple of omissions though (both work for bike shops).

To be honest I couldn't call that, it hurts my brain to think about it..... can't wait to find out.

EDIT: It's been almost an hour and I'm still too scared to vote Smiling

last year that recorded negative official lap times, my best was about 10 minutes. Got to love end of daylight savings when your racing the clock. Not sure if it will happen again this year though.

My money would be on Gaz but I know he'll rip a tire side wall on one of the many sharp edge rocks that litter those trails and with no pump to fix it he will be out for a long walk. Pikey gets my money

Got to put my vote down for Gazza, especialy on the new ride.

GAZZA's picture

what kind of idiot goes out on a cross country lap without a spare tube and air? Eye-wink

Bernd's picture

but I had to vote for Supagav, 29er's R U U U U U L E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damien's picture

There wont be much in it.

Gav gets the vote but I wouldnt put it past Gazza to put in the fastest lap and Steve was right there on the weekend.

Supagav's picture

It was hard to choose who to put in the poll. I actually looked at who had ticked the star to say they were going in the first place.
How about we make it a bit more interesting though, drink a can of beer before the start of the lap then GO.
it sounds like great SS training to me. Gazza and Pikey will be up for this foresure. Now to try and find some speights beer... (Im pretty sure this is what we will be drinking for world SS champs) or maybe Bernd has a bottle or 2 of home brew to donate?

Rob's picture

Man, with that rule I'm so not voting for Junkie Sticking out tongue

Supagav's picture

But only if hey drinks Cider

Bernd's picture

you need!!!!!!
I can/will donate a Bier or 2 for this if needed! I have a case of German Style Weissbier!!! I will take it down there. ..(so the snorrrriiinnng foorrty's can get a little of track!)
I have made this one for the Mont, it is very, very nice. Lot's and lots of yeast and wheat in it!! Pikey will love it!
24 x 345ml bottles.......

If that rule is implemented, I wouldn't complete my first lap!

Having never actually ridden Sparrow coupled with my frat house ability to drink, I could see myself making a detour off course and making like Rob (of old hopefully) mid-lap...
Cool

After my effort today on a road bike completing the "Loop the Lake"
You should all be very very scared Smiling

Rob's picture

Yes... be scared!

Pikey turns Gazza? Barf!

Eye-wink

Rob's picture

I do believe that Steve01 has the fastest 'honest' (not first) official lap with a 52:45. Well done Steve!

Other contenders in this poll:

Supagav - 54:07
Gazza - 54:25
AR Junkie - 57:56
Pikey - 1:04:29

Damien's picture

To see Pikey keeping these guys honest.

Supagav's picture

Good Work Steve. The second lap should always be the quickest due to little or no traffic. Good to see you have still got a bit of speed left in the legs after the CCOMTB club round last week.

BT's picture

Hey, I'm not too far off those times...See you next year! Sticking out tongue

pikey's picture

I even impressed myself......But being the manager of a winning 40+ mixed team puts a lot of pressure on oneself to perform at there best and I believed I did just that......thoughts do wonder into my head though that as I didn't have an "off" maybe I wasn't trying hard enough?????

Something to ponder for the next 24hr.

Congrats everyone that competed

Pikey

lorrie's picture

I might take insult at that comment. I have emailed the organisers and asked them to remove me from the list, better be careful what you say Rob.

EDIT 2.06pm

Yep I stuffed up and jumped the transition of my team mate by 18mins, so even thou the results say I did a good lap - I didn't. Long but funny story. Apologies Rob.

Steve 01's picture

Not only quickest lap but 2nd quickest as well,racing the young guys of nobmob is like taking candy from a baby, too easy
I'm betting next event they will be out to make me eat my words

dangersean's picture

yeah I chose to race with just one gear to let you have your glory old man Eye-wink

GAZZA's picture

you'll be eating your words and my dust in the next race mate! Eye-wink

Damien's picture

There is another old guy coming into form in the near future enjoy the spotlight while it lasts.

GAZZA's picture

the more the merrier!

Whisperer's picture

on my team.... but as the 'elder' of the bunch wasn't toooo unhappy with a 56:45 lap.
I guess the the good thing is I don't recon I've peaked yet. There still a bit of corner speed I can squeeze out and do better in the future!

Harry's picture

was the only person from all those I knew competing that passed me the whole weekend and he did so so fast I wasn't sure who it was that said hello. Next year I'll change my vote from Pikey - team captain - had to Smiling

pikey's picture

Imagine what time I could get if I wasn't drinking till 2:30am on the Friday night before the Mont AND I did some training?????

Now your scared Smiling

Pikey
