Hey, well done Delia on your result. It was great to see so many women out racing, and in weird and wonderful costumes too. We had 4 Dulwich ladies start and finish the race, which was good to see. Anyone know what happened to the Dynamo women? There were five of them down on the start sheet and it doesn't look as though any of them raced.

Well done Kevin and Delia! Andy, that costume looks like a combination of a low rent cyberman and a gimp costume. It's slightly disturbing and I'm glad it was dark! Some photos: www.flickr.com/photos/44175702@N05/

That was... erm, scary! Seriously though, it really was a lot of fun - the whole atmosphere, even during the warmup session in the afternoon was good. Well done to Kevin on your win - no costume?! Had the Disney store sold all their Tigger outfits?! It was really good to see so many Dulwich there and a large number racing too! Pete, I hope your not too sore after attempting the 'Cleverly re-mount' technique, looks like you've nearly got it! What happened to 'Hi-ho Silver!' AndyW?! Thanks to David Rose for the loan of the lights -they really were great! I didn't get a great start and then proceeded to try my hardest to write-off the bike and myself with numerous crashes! Depsite my best efforts I've only managed to break one gear lever... Still I can't complain as it was great to see Delia have a really strong race and take 3rd! She even got to stand on the podium this time too! Anyway, really great event and well organised too! More please!

They've got my result wrong I was sandwiched between Monica and Nicky, but am down here as having a 12:48 lap so they must have missed me coming through on one lap (my up-side-down moment on the humps didn't take 6 mins to get upright again!).

They've got my result wrong as well. I did more than 4 laps and girls that were behind me have been placed ahead of me!! Also, I note a couple of the girls are dnf's even though I saw them cross the finish line (??).
I meant to say it earlier Kevin - well done on your result. (That's one result they didn't get that one wrong!)

A great night. And I found out today that it's booked again for next year.
They Bu**ered up my result too: An 11:54 first lap!! Eh? By my reckoning I should be 20th having done 7 laps in 39:10...Hey ho.
Andy you worry me greatly. I may never be comfortable in your presence again.

). I meant to say it earlier Kevin - well done on your result. (That's one result they didn't get that one wrong!) Thanks Maria. When I crossed the finish line they hadn't got the chequered flag ready, I think that it was a hard race to judge, 'cross races are always confusing, let alone in the dark.

There seem to be a few extra long laps in the results. I have a 10m27s one, which is about double each of my other laps. Somehow it hasn't registered as two separate laps. I blame the fact that they'd run out of beer by the time i finished.

Andy, that picture of you and Bryan Taylor is one of the most amazing/weirdest pictures I've seen.
I really don't know how Bryan didn't burst out laughing as Cyber Gimpboy pasted by.
