hamster Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) me and a mate rode last year for the first time. my mate drowned his bike in one of those deep puddles he said his bars went under the water and i went over the bars about a minute out of the start then after one lap my arms fell off. doing it again this year i must be a glutton for punishment as the only training done is to drink more beer in the run up to it.
