The missus went off to go racing this weekend and as I'm still of the bike there was hanging round and pics to be taken. (Unfortunately only phone pics)

Not bad pics for a phone camera- seen to make the trails look v dry and dusty though..??
(Git!).
Get well soon btw.

That would be the fact it hasn't rained properly in a 2 weeks 🙂
Should have put a smiley in after my dusty trails comment..
I was there too - was a great weekend of riding. Especially the descent on Day 2 - awesome. Hopefully you can get out there next year!
Harry, what was your team name/number? I have some more pics
Mike
I think our team number was 103 or similar. Were you at the bottom of the descent on day 2? Seem to remember someone taking photos with a phone there somewhere?
On the singletrack about 18km in with a big Akubra on and blue bag (was hanging round with Tim on Sunday) I was on the Mt Paris Damm road on Saturday

Yep - that second shot is me, fantastic shot for a phone! Thanks for posting that up. Think I had a grin from ear to ear at the bottom of that descent - lots of fun.
Pity about all the mechanicals we had from sticks on that descent, my partner bent his front derailleur and managed to somehow pull his rear derailleur cable such that he only had the bottom five gears for a while. Guess you get that from dodgy overtaking...
There were some good and bad spots for light up there, managed to get most of the people I knew in the good light!
Trails looked great, ready to go back up and ride the damm stuff now!
The sticks do seem to be an issue up here for catching stuff, same happened to my missus's partner (also through overtaking I think)
