Awesome :-). Really good training then - you wouldn't get that on a Wattbike!

No but I still had to make the session useful for my 10 mile tt training :-)

Yes Cath a Carbon Camber. Second time out here on it and it's been completely faultless other than a bent front spoke.

Final days riding today and it was hard going, from the off a 4 mile climb in 37c heat. But it has been a great week riding some amazing trails.

Sounds good. Glad you like the Camber. Nic has an S-Works one that she hasn't built up yet. It'll be last year's model before she does at this rate :-)

Up to Builth to have a look at the last round of the national mtb series.
Staggered at how few riders there were today and could count neutral spectators on both hands.Great racing.
Very pleased to learn that Megan James is recovering well after her big crash at Lenzerheide UCI Downhill. Her Dad said the Garmin smashed at 58kph recording the crash.
He organises Crosstober and is upgraded to C1 this year, just below World Cup level with more prize money on offer, 13 TV cameras planned to cover the whole course and 2 big screens. Should be fantastic.

Just watching the UCI mtb on Bike, women about to finish, no spoilers with men on soon.

Pottered round Woodbury Conmon today, was surprised to find confidence has taken a knock following twentyfour12, but started to come back towards the end.

Also, Jubear's Mr has just taught me how to change my front wheel bearing. Skillz ;-)

Sounds good. Pity we couldn't come to Builth but Nic detests the course and had already decided her season would end after the National Champs.

Good result for Annie Last - pity she couldn't hold on for 7th in the end...
