Well, its nearly here. Feels like its been a long time arriving and as ever there seems to be a complete lack of organisation. Not even sure if we have the full compliment of people turning up. Paul seems undecided about taking part with his ribs still giving him some jip and I haven't seen Carl for weeks.

Still, it should be fun despite the pretty awful forecast which suggests it'll be raining for the full 12 hours - nice ! Still, I console myself with knowing that there is no way it can be worse than the Strathpuffer we did in 2009.

Well, if all goes to plan we should have Kiwi Mike and Carl in the Pairs.

Mark, Simon, George & Paul in the Male team of 4 &

Wendy, Brian, Toby & John in the Mixed team category.

In addition to that Joe is riding with a 'Muddy Moles' team  and Antony is in a pair with Tread. It would also seem Iwona will be there too, riding in the mixed pairs so that mixed pair category is looking very strong what with Rob Lee in it too.
