*Hugs* Seriously though, ditto that!

I hoped it was obvious - it's like getting in a brand new car and red-lining it - our site is already too bloated, but it's being added in now

Nice one! Thanks dude. Was great to see so many people getting stuck in despite the rain on Saturday

Thanks for the comments guys - sounds like you all had fun too, great stuff No time to reply in full now, but here's a video Craig at Trials King has put together from the Sunday: http://trials-king.com/media-gallery/227-tarty-days-2013

Ah it's not a competition chaps, and it turned out they were pretty different in the end anyway. Radfest seems to be a really 'raw' weekend of riding, away with your mates, getting lashed and having a big one, whereas Tarty Days ended up pretty family orientated thing with mini events to keep spectators / mums & dads interested too. I'm confident there's room and demand for both types of event so we don't need to compete with each other Lukas came over to help this weekend actually, I need to get myself to Dressler Camp next year, looks so awesome!

Cheers dude, makes sense! I guess we did leave it fairly late but I needed to have my arm twisted by Stan to run it at all, haha. We also didn't want to release too much info before Radfest to make sure the two events weren't too similar - its great to have a choice for riders but we didn't want to do the same thing again only a month later. If there is a 2014 we'll make sure there's plenty of advance warning

As above - steel on the drive side and alloy on the non drive side is the winning combination

The generosity and helpfulness of the trials community really shone through this weekend - this makes me happy.

Just a little bump for anyone who would like to offer any feedback about the weekend, both your experiences or suggestions about how to improve. We had an awesome time and it wouldn't have been that way without you guys - thank you so much for coming and getting stuck in despite Saturday's stupid weather! Mark's hoping to get the video done within the next week or so, so keep an eye out for that Thanks once again to every single person who was a part of the event!

Pedals tight in cranks?

Looking forward to Saturday night now

Sounds familiar... on the right as I went past heading North?

Haha, I'll try and spot you Nick! No way Tic - I did see some sort of bike trail on the way out, small world Race 2 for anyone interested... it's a bit more hectic than Race 1: Start - got away ok, then lost the back end through Goodwood (1:00), but managed to bring the gap back down at Church (1:20) 1:40 - sent it up the middle of a pack of cars and squeezed ahead at the chicane 5:30 - caught Jeremy up 5:50 - up the inside at Goodwood 6:25 - comes back past up to the chicane, Amy right on my tail again now, for quite a long time... 7:50 - hit the limiter through Church, huge sideways pant-filling moment - scariest moment I've ever had on track! 8:15 - Amy has a look up the inside but just keep her back 10:20 - Jonathan spun at the complex, managed to get past safely 11:10 - sideways at Church again 11:20 - tried to work a pass on Jeremy but stuffed it up, ran wide, let Amy back through 11:45 - was pretty sure I left Matt plenty of room there...... 12:05 - wrong gear selection cost me a big gap to Amy! 12:45 - lined up a pass by carrying speed through Church, but it wasn't to be... 13:05 - tried around the outside again but no joy 14:10 - carried speed through Goodwood and made a pass up the inside at Church 14:40 - Simon comes steaming through 16:15 - sent it up the inside from way back 16:35 - but to no avail 19:15 - sideways through Church again 19:45 - grabbed 5th instead of 3rd, arse! 21:30 - crossed the line, still very close to all the other cars

Hi Lee, Yes - we're down to the last 5 spaces now, and these will get filled up in the next couple of days easily, sorry! Cheers, Adam Edit: Make that 3 now...

Good stuff - nothing wrong with that In videos news... Here's a vid from this weekend. It's long, but highlights are at: First few mins - the start and getting mugged by nearly everyone on the first lap! 1:45 - went for a pass around the outside but got squeezed out at the last second 2:00 - slidey slidey, followed by getting passed by Jeremy and Duncan, then we're pretty close for the chicane... 3:05 - made up a load of ground at Church but couldn't get through 5:10 - same again 6:00 - getting close with Jeremy 7:30 - Simon gets it sideways coming out of the chicane, made a pass up the inside 8:05 - snatched 2nd too forcefully and got it pretty sideways 8:30 - made up a lot of ground through Goodwood and Church, made the pass, but c**ked it up! 9:45 - dicing with Jeremy again 11:20 - good run through Seagrave, made the pass as Liam trundles off with head gasket failure 14:20 - chasing Duncan, getting close through Church 15:10 - huge slide, lost a lot of time 16:45 - went for the pass and c**ked it up... 17:40 - starting to rain now, another good run through Church 18:05 - huge train of cars through the chicane 19:10 - more rain and a good run through Goodwood 19:50 - the Rodders train gets ever closer! 20:15 - side by side with Matt 20:55 - good run out of Goodwood to make the pass... just. Then right up behind Amy at Church. 21:35 - tried around the outside but didn't make it stick 21:45 - little bit of slidey action for the crowd on the last lap 2nd vid uploading now too

I spy GoPro - vids please

Awesome - will be great to see you! Unfortunately I don't know the local area very well (we're about 400km North of the venue) but as Sam said, camping is what most people will be doing. I have a couple of tents but they are all already being borrowed, sorry... Worst case you could sleep in one of our gazebos with the sides on? Haha. In other news, trophies are finished

Good point Nick, hadn't thought of that! To add some weight... Recently replaced the front pads (huge ones for 4 pot brakes) and discs (weigh about 15kg each and are well over 300mm) on the van and the brakes are considerably better than they were before - all for less than £100. You only need posh pads if you are getting the brakes hot.
