10UTB and all that

you can catch up on my exploits at 10UTB on the velo club moulin blog. tall racing tales will be over there from now on. general crap over here.

tomorrow brings an edinburgh westside ride with JP - is Stoorie Brae the Scottish Mt Tam? hear it here first...

this weekend - more mtb, more camping, much more heckling! it's the UCI coupe de monde in an gearasdan. mucho thanks to singletrack for tix. woulda made the XC races at the bigworlds last year, but for the intervention of a kidney stone. an early morning dash to A&E in inversneck meant i not only missed goodbyes to the last of the SSWCers, but also the chance to catch an awesome event. the worst thing? pain eased off, just as we completed the 30 mile dash, so the junior doctor put pain down to constipation, rather than the 6mm(!) stone which clearly hid in the x-rays. no morphine? no thanks.
