Tremendous effort from all who took part in last weekends gruelling Strathpuffer 24 hour mountain bike race. Conditions were very good with only light showers and temperatures staying above freezing. Our camp was fully kitted out with everything we needed food/equipment/warmth/lights/flag which was a great help and made it easier to deal with the long hard MTB race.
Team Strath Carnage had lots of technical trouble in the beginning with punctures, snapped chain and busted brakes but then settled in and produced a very respectable 47th (26 laps) in the team category.
Team Old Coggers had no technical trouble which was unbelievably fortunate which allowed them to grind on at a very steady pace completing 32 laps and finishing 16th in the team category.
Superhuman Robbie is the undisputed animal of the weekend completing 28 laps and finishing 4th in the Solo category – very well done sir. Even with a busted wheel and snapped chain!
Team Old Coggers: Callum, Ben, Chris & Jay
Team Strath Carnage: Colin, Andy F, Andy R & Russell
And Solo Robbie Wilson also known as ‘one litre diesel‘
