5th in the mixed team @ Mountain Mayhem




Despite bad conditions, the Fig Rolls mixed team of Niki, Matthew, Duncan, Joe and Killer managed to bag 5th place out of 144 teams.

At 2pm the course had started damp but 100% rideable. During the afternoon the course was starting to dry out but by 11pm it was starting to rain heavily and continued until about 3am. By this point only about 50% was rideable and lap times had more than doubled...

The course slowly went from thick mud to semi dry and by 10am on Sunday was starting to get fast. Some of the fastest laps were posted at this time.

Unfortunately the wind was getting up and a sudden blast destroyed the Fig Rolls Camp!

Gazebo or no Gazebo the Fig Rolls were not for stopping and despite 6th place getting within 6 mins we held on to the finish.

Next up Sleepless in the Saddle where Matt and Duncan are going solo!
