For the dimm, race report is on the homepage

Will definitely be back for more. I know I can snatch that descent with less tired raced out legs. 6th this year with a 17th overall. Adding the descent time incentive in makes it a fab little do. Good work that man.

Agreed, the descent time split although hard work to organise is a really good idea, until now only Pen Y Fan of the ones I've done has this. I saw Andy and Niki this morning at Cardiff Parkrun although I'm sure Andy would have ran the course as multiterrain through the woods next to the Taff.
Top race, try get down for it next year..

Sorry for the confusion about the distance for this race, it was caused by my using last year's fixture list as a starting point for this one, see here https://twitter.com/SW_WHS

Well done Grubby. Another epic race. Perfect conditions and a proper gnarly mountain.

Great race Andy, looking forward to seeing those descent splits. Nice, witty write-up by Niki.
