Next stop "The Strathpuffer"

The bags are packed, the tools are laid out ready to be loaded and everything but the proverbial kitchen sink is waiting to take off for Strathpeffer and the infamous Strathpuffer Challenge 24 hour race. Baz is in a team of four who'll take it in turns to ride the roughly 9 mile lap from 10 am on Saturday until 10 am on Sunday. I'm going as chief bottle washer and bike mechanic as the course can play havoc with the bikes, and some nutter has to be there to attempt to rectify any damage caused either by the elements or rider fatigue (or both!).
Previous years have seen a mixture of conditions, from 12 inches of mud to 12 inches of snow and ice while at the same time being so far north there's about 17 hours of darkness,it should be quite an experience.
I hope to get a few photos, if conditions (and participants) allow. I,m especially looking forward to the picture of them all on Sunday morning at 10 am !!
