Team Geared Up

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) Forget the faff I wrote about my adventure race last Saturday and head over to Tango and Cash for a great account of what it was really like. Considering they’re primary goal was to get back on time for a shower (car park closed at 6pm SHARP!), they went on to be first past the post at the finishing line!

Checkpoint 3 was an easy find round the road, and we barely stopped for it on the way to 4, which was on the railings beyond a VERY steep tarmac hill. Our main strategy guy Ian had brake issues at the 90 degree bend at the bottom of the straight, hit the bank HARD, left the bike, and took off head first into the brambles, just missing a tree - lucky, lucky chap - could have been killed, scuppering our chances of finishing!

But don’t crack open the champagne just yet Rick, because from what I could see, none of your team members had a set of ovaries (man boobs maybe but not ovaries ;-) ) so therefore it doesn’t count. But at least you fulfilled the goal of the hot shower! Big well done to Al, Ian, Phil and Rick! (Has nobody got any photos from this event?!)
