Costly falls win the trophy
The coveted injury prize for 2010 has been awarded to Mark Tillet ‘Pole’ for his very costly accident this year during a jolly outing at Blackrocks. The shear expense of replacement teeth and the amount of emergency aid that came to his rescue will be something he’ll be telling the lads in the pub for years to come.
Will take some beating next year!

Its ‘snow’ hard
This weeks Tuesdays ride wasn’t made easy with the snow. We had an ok turn out considering, think we managed about 12 people. Its was extremely hard work because all the snow had frozen up, we had to push down some of the downhills, not because we are crap, just because the snow wouldn’t let you roll. Still was amazing fun as usual. We should also mention Iain’s very Christmas’y looking bike, complete with LED flashing lights just to sidetrack you whilst your finding your way down the trail. I just hope the speakers come out on the next ride playing Christmas music!
Sleepless in the Saddle Success
The DVATC hit the podium for the first time in this years muddy Sleepless in the Saddle. Mark, Tony, Chris and Phil finished in second place in the male sport catergory.
