The Results Are In!

Wow! What a weekend! A massive thank you to everyone involved: the riders for creating such a fantastic atmosphere and some brilliant racing; the marshals, helpers, catering and First Aid for being ace; all the sponsors, especially Exposure Lights (and Rory and John taking part in their first ever 24 hour solo race), USE, Joolze Dymond, Morvelo, Bontrager, Torq, Juice Lubes, XCRacer.com and What Mountain Bike.

Also, Forestry Commission Scotland and 7Stanes for putting so much work in to finish the race course; John Bailey and all at Rock UK for going above and beyond the call of duty before, during and after the event - these guys put in a huge amount of work to help the weekend run smoothly. And obviously the people of Newcastleton for supporting the event and cheering on the riders at the start on Saturday morning.

For us, that was as close to a perfect event as we've ever had (who'd have predicted THAT weather AND midge free. Barmy!!) We're already working on next year's event, watch out for information in the press and website updates.

Full race results are now up on the Results page. Any queries, just drop me an email.

Thanks again for making such a great weekend, hopefully we'll see you all back again next year.

Paul, Sara and Richard

You WILL go through good and bad patches; push through the bad bits; that's the difference between the finishers and the quitters! Most of all enjoy it in all its weirdness!
