Yes, those sumo guys did keep their kit on...

Course was 10.2 miles as per my friends Garmin and yes, twisted all over the place. I was able to ride the while first lap, but after that it got gradually worse and more of the course became unrideable. In the end, even the elite guys in the pro teams were seen pushing their bikes :w00t: My first couple of laps took under 2 hours, then it gradually got slower as more pushing was required and less riding took place and the riding slowed down due to the mud as well. Funnily enough, it got better in the night when we had torrential rain, as the mud got watered down and was easier to ride through and it didn't quite stick so much...

The down hill back to main arena was great fun to watch. Never seen so many low speed crashes! It really looked unrideable in parts. But the most important question of all.......did the sumo wrestlers keep their costumes on till the end?!!
