My initial vantage point was at the top of the first climb and there was such a long stream of riders coming home. Next, I got to watch you guys, with big smiles, fly past me at the bottom of extacy. I wished I was racing it :)<br/><br/>I have a few videos (from my mobile phone so quality is so so) and when I get a minute I'll post them somewhere.<br/><br/>Well done to all the MAD folk that took part!

I have a few videos (from my mobile phone so quality is so so) and when I get a minute I’ll post them somewhere.

Well done to all the MAD folk that took part!

Barry - if you weren’t at Onslaught and Destruction last night you should be ashamed of yourself - 80s old skool thrash metal!!!!
Cait came really close to passing me on the last fireroad though - we had a great battle for a big part of the race, along with Paddy Daly from Rocky Mountain and Luke from EPIC - great stuff.

so the big test is who can remember that route for the next MAD spin? and who’ll make the sambos and tea?
hmmmm……..

Bone dry trails, great craic, and had a spin on the new trails for tomorow. Pretty great, but dust bowl dry! Should be good for the race.

Richie and I were tearing around three rock like mad men this morning. The trails are in perfect condition. I can't remember when they were this dry. There were even mutterings of it being "too dusty".<br/>The club course is in great shape. Thanks to all those who were involved in it's upkeep. What a good start to the weekend.
