Dusk 2 Dawn...

Well, Team(no website plugging here).com managed to put in 14 laps over 12hrs and finished 18th out of 49 in the pairs section. It was a cold starry night, the place was close to bone dry and even though I didn't think it just after finishing, I quite enjoyed it. The single-track was very good, the whole 9.2 mile course was well thought out, it's just a shame that the single-track had a hell of alot of undulations in it. This started to get to you both physically and mentally as the race wore on, as you were constantly taking hits on the descents and at times losing any rhythm when riding on the flat/climbs. Thetford mtb racing are discussing trail maintenance with the FE, but have got their work cut out.

I was so tired at the end that I packed up and left, before the awards were handed out. Still will more than likely be there for 2007.
