Actually the 6 Hour MTB Blast wasn't that bad. The weather was good - sunny but still cold so numbers were good. Each lap was about 9km long. I started right at the back and just cruised around and was making fairly reasonable lap times (about 27minutes a lap). I had a short stop to get something to eat and also lost a bit of time helping a guy mend his chain (he was stopped on the side of the track and I thought to myself What Would Pete Do (WWPD)? - it didn't take long to decide) but apart from that it was fairly consistent riding.
In the end I placed 9th (out of 17) with 11 laps (the winner did 14). Not too bad considering the hard ride the day before and my natural inaptitude for MTB.
