Team Groover all enjoyed themselves this weekend and I'm very grateful for all the support I received, my wife was there constantly passing me food and drink and even putting it in my mouth so I didn't cover it in mud. Jason my 10 year old was there cleaning the drive train or passing me food for much of the race and Toasted although a bit soggy were always there to help clean me and the drive train before another lap.

What an introduction to 24 hour mtb racing, still enjoyed most of it there were times when i just wanted to go home & curl up in my nice dry warm bed, but having said that there were times when you wouldn't be dead for quids, like when hammering down that slippery rocky single track & the down hill section knowing one wrong move & your gone, or sliding around those corners in the grassy meadows before it turned to swamp.I'll definately be back again for this race .
