Dorset Dash 100

Post by numplumz »

Anyone else doing this on Sunday. Chillin in swanage myself after a cool night of fire and beer in the campsite. Good mix of bikes look to be taking part, and reports are that the trails are thick with mud and huge water after the deluges.
Proper tractor tyre size mud collection, should be interesting for the fat bike guys.

Coffee and bacon at the start pub, now that's something I could get used too. Hopefully will put up how we got on.

Me, I was there.

I came in 12th place in a fraction under 8 hours.
Minus the 2 pro's and 6 CX bikes I'm claiming 4th place on my Travers Angus semi fat bike

Yea, yeah, yeah and I'd be the Olympic 100m champion if it wasn't for all those b'strads that can run faster than me :wink:

I might be up for another lap in July.

I live halfway round the route so if you were starting from Swanage I'd probably ride the first half on my own early morning, join in with a group ride from there and cut out back at home.

Keep me informed of plans :-bd

Dependent on getting the day off work and getting my Niner operational again ( :roll: ) yes, I would be up for a ride on that Tuesday.

My email's in my profile; drop me a message when you've finalised your plans.

Will email tomorrow. Looking like a 7am start from most westerly part of course as closest to the hotel.
