I was a spectator last year. What a crazy event, to have 500 riders blast past going up these loose climbs is something that you can't put into words. By far the biggest event in off road, they get about 40,000 spectators that weekend.

I saw some of the race. Graham Javis disqualified again... that's gotta be frustating. Chris Birch must be hurt?

Not injured...the Romaniacs is this weekend and he prefers that event so he was resting to ensure he was ready for it.


Jarvis was disqualified for missing a check....it was VERY foggy. The race was stopped early due to the fog. Only 7 finishers

Great series on youtube of the coverage mentioned above....
here is the first. I believe the 6th one has johnny walker going up dynamite from a great perspective and a stunned Jarvis when he finds out he's dq'd.
