π§οΈπ΄ββοΈ COME RAIN OR SHINEβ¦ WELL, IT WAS RAIN! π§οΈπ
And just like that, Durbie Dash 2026 is done and dusted! Well, more like soaked, splattered and thoroughly mudded out π€£π¦
To all the who braved the conditions, showed up and crossed that long-awaited, drenched finish line β WELL DONE! ππ΄βͺπ΅ You are absolute legends!
Some werenβt quite so lucky, Fred who had a couple of uninvited punctures, while others decided to take the David Copperfield disappearing act route! πͺπ And yes, Polly Sacker β¦ we know it was you π€£πβοΈ (exhibit A attached)
But rain, mud, mechanical mishaps and mysterious disappearances aside, those who made it across the finish line did so with a medal in hand, and me with water in places I never knew possible in a cycling kit! π³π¦ Well, so a friend informed meβ¦ ππ
And a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the Stay Wider of the Rider marshals who took the brunt of the miserable weather to keep our riders safe. You are absolute stars! βπ
Durbie Dash 2026 β wet, wild and one for the books! π§οΈπ΄ββοΈβ€οΈ
