Wasn't markenduro with me it was stevemorg.



Without the welsh hospitality industry there isn't a lot else there so I'm happy to put zoe's hard earned money towards supporting a bunch of foreigners. ;)

A little did indeed go a long way but there's none left so it must have been popular ... thanks for sorting it out.

massive thank you for stu and dee. thanks for organising a great (and unique) event. Food was a welcome treat on returning, thanks dee. And cheers for the tow out the feild stu. bloody van tyres!!

Great route - Keith and I were pleased to have been out for two days and ridden some lovely trails over mid wales - even if we were a little short at 150km. I'll be back cos i want a badge :)

nice to meet you valley daddy - i'm sure your help was appreciated - even if when we arrived you seemed to be drinking tea and eating cake ;)

thanks all. and nice one to everyone who rode especially those who finished - some in some incomprehensible times!! :o


EDIT: is anyone else sunburnt!! WTF. wales in mid october. not that i'm complaining. :oops:

I rode the BB200 at the weekend and just wanted to say a big thank you to Stuart for organising and hosting, and all the others that got involved to support a very good event. I thought the distance and course were pitched perfectly for everyone, from those wanting to experience their first bikepack race over a weekend, to those wanting a straight through ride. The tough, but low cost, low-key, and no nonsense style of racing is the way forward.

Thanks again,

Steve Wilkinson

Thanks to Stuart & Dee for organising, great event. This morning I think I was the tiredest I have been all year. Except for the bivy stop I rode throughout, just brief stops to get food out of wingnut.
Will aim for 28 hours next year, but unlikely to be as fit as I was this year.
If I can go quicker might get some bara brith, none left when I returned!
Spent a few hours today in Caernarfon castle, stairs were incredibly tough, why didn't they put lifts in when they built it?
