Fig Rolls Canada triumphed in the UROC Twelve Hours of Cumberland (can you see what they did there?). Fig Rolls ladies Nikki and Joan raced incognito with Fig Rolls special guests Chris and Lina (of divided Fig Rolls and Steed Cycles loyalties). The "Four Horsewomen of the Apokalyps" literally brought home the pottery with a triumphant 21 laps of the fast and furious course. Actually, I didn't see any fury going on at all... it wasn't that kind of race.
Horsewomen ride to victory
There seems to be a tradition in 12/24 hour races in Canada of having bonus laps available for riding a loaner "nasty" bike on the course. "Nasty" isn't the exact word used, to give you a clue... they were kept parked next to the toilets. In this race there was so much enthusiasm for the nasty bikes we could barely get our hands on them. Fisticuffs were nearly reached at one point to get hold of the Ross (who?) "Mt Kilimanjaro". The Fig Rolls boys team (Andrew, Marc, Paul, and Jacek) couldn't be doing with that business... got one lap each on the nasty bikes and left it at that. We paid the price. Despite getting the most laps of any team... we came second. Pah.
Paul, a nasty bike... and a toilet.
Jacek coming into the transition.
We had a great "recovery ride" on Forbidden Plaueau on Sunday and jumped in the river. Good times.
