Rob and I have sent in our forms. Have to fettle the bike a bit as drive shaft oil seal has blown. Waiting for delivery of a stainless steel spacer.

I just looked madness and lunacy in the online video dictionary and both definitions directed me to that video!

Thanks for sharing, Biff.

 If someone would be so kind as to tell us what time Pennys Wood opens that could be arranged since it is held in the wood alongside Tallyho.

For most people it goes something like this



This was filmed at this years Moor to Sea but like the Ten Tors few reach the top

The hard part is getting back down

I'd appreciate at least one run sheet/track log from this plus a copy of the results when they're available as combined they add hundreds of lane uses to the archive.

Cheers,

John

I see the route is the same as last year, in the same direction and with the same sections. 

I don't think it's going to be as icy as 2010 thank goodness, negotiating some of the roads was trickier than the sections.

I'm No 59, off at 9.00am, literally I expect!

John, I will supply a run record and track log.

Ray.

Yep great day out , saw Nick Manuell make it up, on second attempt(again), dunno if any others did, theres always next year!? Should be plenty of low scores with the sections seemingly eased.

Nick Life did it second go. Then waited until the end and cleared it several times more. Most of them were without any dabs at all.
I took a few pictures before the batteries went and the light faded. I will stick them up in a day or so.

Another great day out. No ice this year, but some of the lanes were sideways slippery.

Yet to throw my bike at the hill, those roots half way up just didn't look inviting. Maybe next year?

How did the double WSB champion get on? Troy Corser was riding with Andrew Savery from Wheeldon.

A great day. Most of the video I took had my goggle strap in the way (doh!). But here are a few clips where more than half the field of view was visible blush.gif.

We saw one guy clean it. He seem to float over the pipes onto the trailer at an unfeasibly low speed. He missed the wall and made the final pipes look even more simple. worship.gif

 

One day, I might be that good. disbelief.gif
