80 plus riders! Apparently the biggest cx field ever seen in scotland! and thats not including the juniors.
I was assisting my mountain bike club with the running of our race at Mugdock country park. Somehow I ended up assisting with the time keeping...badly! With 80 riders it was quite a challenge. I managed to get split times for the juniors but for the big race the timer reset to zero. I must have stopped it instead of pressing split. Apparently there is fundraising going on for a proper chip timing system. If participtating numbers remain that high it will be a great investment!
One of the riders managed to pull out the plug, for the Alpine Bikes inflatable banner on the first lap. Much scurrying to clear the deflating uncontrollable sausage from the course before the riders came round on the next lap! It was windy!
The cosybike was also there. I was able to give few rides afterwards to loads of people. The Junior Racers reached the top speed yet on the flat AND actually wanted to climb a huge hill. They could have gone faster but the carpark was quite small. A very polite well behaved bunch of kids.
Halloween - I have decided that the evil fairymonster of death will be suitable attire. Unless I change my mind. Again.
