edited film of the fastest bit from Saturday's filthy, slippy ride including a close call after a pedal problem.

Unedited with the full crash footage. No damage though!

Excellent steady, clear video which really gives the impression of speed. Must get back there when it dries out
petrol to cannock......£10
all day parking......£3
coffee and sandwich....£6
running over a guys face and saying "oh, sorry mate" and having it all on camera......priceless
there are some things money can buy, for everything else there's Matt Hornby
Brilliant video Matthew. What was the poor unsuspecting chap thinking of, riding nice and peacefully down a piece of flowing singletrack which he obviously thought he had all to himself - little did he know that a WVCC lunatic was bearing down behind him on a mission to complete his run whatever obstacles (mineral, vegetable or animal) he was about to encounter. "Sorry mate" indeed!! Just remind me never to ride in front of you!! Anyway I hope you've offered to pay for his post traumatic stress counselling.
Loved your comment Andy. In Matthew's defence, the guy was pulling over to let us past and didn't get his left foot unclipped in time, so just keeled over. He was just as embarrassed as Matthew - well almost.
I was quite prepared to wait for a bit, but he jumped like a startled rabbit when I called him, and then got his foot stuck in his cleat. I never touched him, (well at least not until he was already lying down 😈 )
