Close between joe & Dominick too.. first time I raced there and I thought it was great. Mostly dry with a few sticky mud holes and climbs. Tricky off camber stuff too. Really enjoyable and painful in equal measure. Definitely not as hard as Slade

There was a reason I got two flats today,1 on practice lap and second just after shizzle. I had to save jimmy from himself! After a full force face plant into the dirt he wanted to get back on the bike!! If ur gonna b dumb ya gotta b tough.. He even forgot he had a kid when asked..that could b sleep deprivation too! Poor Hans had a s**te day too,hope the bikes ok dude. Did u crack the frame?? I did get to watch from the side line and the blue team were flying,really held our own today. Well done Adam Joanne and a happy tayto(for once).

Considering I was down helping to park cars in Leo's field 10mim b4 the race and didn't have a clue how to race,which leaded to me cramping up like jono,I think I'd put g ride down as my first proper NPS.

I do love NPS. As it was my first real NPS I wasn't sure what to do strategy wise,go all out first lap and risk blowing up on the last or try finish strong? All that went out the window the second the race started and it was just peddle as fast as you can for as long as u can.. That first lap was pure carnage but once I got going I started picking off lads 1 by 1 but couldn't catch jimmy the horse!! Hans was on my tail for the whole race which pushed me on.. One of the best xc loops I've ever been on for sure, a bit of everything throws  into the mix and I'm pleased enough with a top ten finish. Will that mean I'm seeded for the next one and kick jimmy a ass!!

Thanks lads,but most of the credit goes to the bottle of red wine I just had to finish off last night..
But the real inspiration comes from the the EWS Hero's..
God speed you brave souls. Ha!!!

The names jiimmmy big Iano Scott and Tayto will be mentioned in the folklore of IMBRC for generations to come,the men that took on the world at the EWS and beat Fabian Bariel (on stage 4).
We will b telling the kids how they spent 3 long days in the saddle,battling fire (roads) jeering madmen and killer descents.. How jimmy nearly died from man flu but he never gave up and by race day his yellow wheels were glowing red hot he was going so hard and fast,or how big Ian,who was 8ft tall,fell off his bike again and again but got back up every time and it was the rocks and trees that came out second best.or how Masters Barkley raced every stage as hard and as fast as he could even though he was nursing a 4yr old broken shoulder and finished in the top twenty in the universe,or how the legendary red bearded pirate captain Tayto guided his giant rig through The 7 circles of hells inferno only to rise up and continue his odyssey through Scotland and France..
The mighty EWS IMBRC legends!! 


I may have had a few glasses of vino to celebrate their achievements !!!
