A nice wet course saw at least three crashes but no major injuries. Our plans to start early this year went out the window and as usual things didn't really kick off until midnight. No police this year, although they did drive past, I think they know what's going on by now and left us to it.

GALLUS CYCLES ARM-WRESTLING CHALLENGE
ROSS beat SAFA BRIAN
PETE beat TOM
ROSS beat PETE
Jeremy (ex Glasgow courier now Texas based framebuilder ) had offered to build a custom frame and forks as a prize for this year on the condition we didn't tell anyone beforehand*. The original plan was that during the weekend one person would emerge as a deserving winner, but by Sunday there was nothing separating PETE, TOM and SAFA BRIAN. So in true Millportpoloco style Jeremy decided to have an arm wrestling contest which would include wildcard ROSS due his DFL placing in the Time Trial and his general entertaining demeanour all weekend.
Needless to say "BIG" ROSS destroyed the opposition. Jeremy is going to have to make a mighty strong frame.
SAFA BRIAN won himself an excellent messenger bag from ARCHIES GROBAGS for being best out of towner ( all the way from OZ ).
WESTCOAST BRIAN won himself a signed apology from Buffalo Bill via MOVING TARGET due to the fact we left it at his house.
VOJTECH won a HOUSE OF PISTARD - WESTCOAST MESSENGERS hoody for best crash. He also won himself some scars and chipped teeth. Snapping your forks is a scary, scary thing, be careful out there kids.
The full Time Trial results are here:
Hopefully we'll get a report on everything else that happened but don't hold your breathe.
*we didn't want people getting all competitive and ruining the spirit of Millpocalypse.
