Not going to lie - Sport Recovery needs an update. Bummer about the PO Box - but couriers add premium prices to those delivery (WTF is with that? Indeed). You can get the stuff delivered to work, or even put instructions through of where you want the package left by your front door.

Just spoke with our photographers - they've got over 40gb worth of photos. They're shifting through them this afternoon so we'll hopefully have a selection up on the Big Hill Events facebook in the coming week.
Alternatively check out the #BuxtonBootcamp which has everyone's photos from the weekend ...

Tells you to put dob as example dd/mm/yyyy, but only accepts yank style.
Work delivery isn't appropriate, and this is my back yard...they aren't coming here
If there's any chance this stuff will help with the cramps, I'll track some down and give it a shot before next 6hr race.
Seemed like a lot out there were cramping yesterday, and I assume some, unlike me, rely on more than BBQ shapes and bananas. Interested to hear what foods, not supplements work, and knuckles et al, don't say eat more meat or dicks.

Honey is a good gel substitute, however I don't know how vegan friendly it is. Some people do, some don't.Tells you to put dob as example dd/mm/yyyy, but only accepts yank style.

I find it easier on the stomach than gels.

Doesn't it come from a bee's arse? That can't be too vegan-friendly.
The Results are in and up.
- Crazy as it sounds after 7 rounds of racing, the 6 hour mens finale is a DRAW between Brad Clarke and Peter Kutschera.
Big Hill Events would like to apologise for any confusion caused on the day with the 1st and 2nd place of the series – which were manually calculated. With 1.5 factor points the round points, round up, rather than down: i.e. Brad’s 5th place in Rd 2 is in fact 64.5 points and 2nd place in Rd 6 is in fact 97.5 points. Resulting in both Peter and Brad finishing on 345 points. Big Hill Events have contributed extra funds to the series so that Peter will also receive the same prize money as Brad. Both riders have been contacted and are happy with the outcome and are already looking forward to the next year of racing.

Thanks again for everyone involved in the series

My race prep pretty much went down the toilet when I found myself with some kind of gastro bug on Wednesday.... By Saturday arv I was feeling OK enough to at least get out & have a pedal, but I knew the 6-hours was well off the radar. About 1/4 of the way into my third lap the inevitable happened and I hit the wall, so I just pottered around the rest of the lap & called it a day.
Great course, really loved the new bit! Also good to see how the rest of it is bedding in over time too; last time I was there 18 months ago, some of the berms were in really weird places way off the corner line, but the track bed has moved out to meet them, so they flow a lot better now. :smile:

Fantastic event, it's a great track. Those berms are awesome.
Thanks to everyone involved in organising and participating in the series, it's kept me on the bike over winter, and highlighted what a great lot of track we have available.
I do feel sorry for the snake I ran over halfway round the extra solo loop (a live one, not the dead one that was on the side of the track all day), never a good outcome for the snake, and I'm pleased to have shoes with leather sides as it reared up and tried to latch on :help:

Nursing humour. Nice. I don't think that stop/start/stop/start format is my friend, but had a ball. Will be back if wozza needs a wingman. :boink:

Wooza?? That's great! I'll be using that name on him from now on. With the cramps, you need to find foods that work for you. The gels are good at the start, but 5hrs in and I can't stomach them anymore. I've found with the stop/start, keep moving (don't just sit in an armchair the whole time) vegemite on plain sakatas, banana bread, staminade (with mag), and EPO helps(Oh sorry, the last ones just for roadies). If you don't fuel yourself right then you bonk (which can only be described as the devil rippin your soul out through your kneecaps):mushroom::hopelessness::ambivalence::grief::uncomfortableness::devilish::emptiness::bi_polo: That's a few things that work for me anyway m8. Also Moorey, some of the boys and I are heading to the Bright 12hr Feb 1st. If you want in?

So do it solo. It's a ripper of a course and a really well run event. And it's not in the middle of summer dummy. It's 2/3 the way through.

Yeah, but nah. I'm not ready for a 6hr solo quite yet. 6hrs socially, yep, 6hr under race conditions....I'm not good at pacing myself, and tend to overcook it.

Touché. Btw, one of my kids is called Quinn....50% chance you'd be wrong guessing gender. :crutch:
