Dusk till Dawn ‘08

All I can say is, if Dusk till Dawn was a movie it would have been an all action disaster movie full of heroes and heroines….

This event is traditionally seen as the season ender, a low key relaxed 12 hr romp around he fabulous trails in Thetford at night, what could be a better way to wind down from a hectic season before taking out a long winter rest ready for the onslaught of he next year. Another one of the great things about Thetford is that it always seems to buck the trend with regards to it’s weather system, it has it’s own micro climate and for the last 7 years riders have enjoyed a dry and pleasant event. However 2008 is quickly gaining the reputation as the year that we’d most like to forget and as a season ender D2D summed it up perfectly....

“It was epic, I don’t think I’ve ever pushed myself so hard, the pace was just relentless from the start, it felt more like a XC race than an enduro, everyone was just going for it from the very first lap.”

I have to apologise due to the weather my standard and quantity of photos are pretty diminished. For once in my career I took the decision NOT to stay up all night as my equipment was suffering pretty badly (thank heavens for airing cupboards is all I can say!), this event ranks as the worse one, weather wise I have ever attended in my long 8 years, so well done to everyone who took part, it was a real epic!
