MGG #4 Report
I love it when a plan comes together. It was a pearler of a day and the titular “winds of pain” played its role to a T. Read on for the full report...

Dirty Deeds then dirt-y roads
MGG #4 is almost upon us! Sunday 28th. That's only two weeks away. Get your treadlies ready and use the above image to practice your thousand yard stare.
Actually, this MGG ride is going to be positively relaxing compared to what's happening this Sunday 21st. Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably already know that this Sunday is the third and final round of Dirty Deeds Urban Cyclocross for the year. Oh boy!
If you've been to any of the other Dirty Deeds races, you're probably already planning to go to this one. If you haven't been to one before, get thee down to Harrison Street Velodrome this Sunday and be transported to a magical place of mud, bikes, beer and hot chips. Laugh out loud as people of all shapes and sizes attempt to race each other around a tight circuit that may include mud, sand, barriers and unridably steep hills. Bring the kids, the dog, your bike and your sense of fun. Cyclocross - because playing in the mud is not just for kids!

Updates
I've just updated the MGG #3 page with the official map and cue sheet. Thanks to everyone who emailed asking for them.
Also, one minor correction to the ride report - I've been informed that Matt Barron made it all the way up Black Cameron Road... on his roadie! That's right, skinny slick tires, roadie gearing. I'm going to have to get him out there again to show me how it's done. Well done Matty!
If you want to have a crack, start at St Andrews, duck round through the market and head up here :

MGG #4
Planning for MGG #4 is already underway - we'll be out doing recon in the next couple of weeks. It's going to be very different to previous rides. For a start, it's going to be dead flat.
But that doesn't mean it won't be challenging...
