24 hours of Exposure

Sip Events 24 Hours of Exposure Report By Dangleberry Humphreys

As you may have read already on our facebook page both our superheroes Chaz  (Chuffnuts) and Luke (Dangleberry) attended the national 24 hour championship Mtb race at Newcastleton – one of the lesser ridden 7 staines trail centres

Heroes

If you are going up that way, I recommend the riding here as the course was spot on!

As always when Juice Lubes is around the sun was shining high in the sky throughout the event (apart from the night bit)

From the minute we arrived on the Friday pm Chaz was repairing, tuning and lubing which continued until we crawled into bed at midnight. Which was nice. Word had obviously got around and we were faced with an oil hungry queue at 9am when we returned to the stand.

As a sponsor we were there to lubricate the field and keep their trusty steeds running as smooth as possible for 24 hours. So on the Saturday it was no surprise that Chaz was again repairing bikes from 9am until at least 11.30pm ranging from minor tweaks to bottom bracket rebuilds and more.

Sidekick Luke was prolific with bottle filling, rider motivation and lubing for many of the unsupported riders who were taking part as well as keeping  the powerhouse Chaz  running well with high octane coffee.

Riders were mainly running Ceramic Juice on their chains as conditions were very dry and dusty and plenty of Fork Juice to avoid the dreaded stiction

Dirt Juice was in action all weekend at the Juice Station which luckily was mainly removing dust and grime as opposed to heaps of mud that we might have had if conditions had not been so great.

The race itself was a thrilling one, led for the most part by 22 year old Josh Ibbett a talent to watch for the future and won by Matt Page a rider of tremendous tenacity who just kept up a relentless pace throughout the event and eventually overhauled Josh after 18 or so hours of racing. Although we must not forget the machine that is Anthony White who looked like a man possessed most of the time and eventually passed Josh to take second place on the very last lap of the race.

That rounds up the podium however there were many other riders (nutters) and categories on course who impressed Dangle and Chuffers with their ability to still smile after 23 plus hours in the saddle. As a bit of a sadist myself, I will be representing Juice Lubes on course next year. Maybe.

So if you are thinking about a solo 24 or 12 ride I strongly recommend that you get an entry in when they appear on XC racer in the next few weeks. Or check out SIP Events website, where else in the country do solo riders get the whole course to themselves? Big Thanks to Chris at Crankphoto for the pics \”Copyright Crankphoto.co.uk\”

A mini Steve Peat in the making? Quite possibly. Only 9 years old, doing 10 runs a day down Cwm Carn and finishing 4th in his 1st race despite a double crash episode – not a bad start!! Remember you heard his name here first; its George Lynch and we are very happy here at Juice Lubes to do all we can to help him on his way.
help him on his way.
