That’s a wrap, Puffers. 🏁❄️
Mud, ice, hero laps, questionable sleep strategies and absolutely legendary grit. The Strathpuffer doesn’t just happen — it takes a village (and then some).
Massive love to the riders who dug deep when their legs said no, and the support crews who kept bikes turning, bottles full and morale just about intact. You’re the real MVPs.
A huge shout-out to our incredible marshals — standing out in the cold, the dark and the snow, all hours, with smiles, cowbells and unwavering commitment. We simply couldn’t do this without you. Absolute heroes 👏
Huge thanks to Brahan Estate for hosting registration, New Contin Trust for parking and that all-important pasta party, and to the village of Contin for your continued patience, warmth and support — we genuinely couldn’t do this without you.
And a proper doff of the helmet to the crew who keep the wheels spinning:
Cube, Exposure Lights, Sportident, Orange Fox Bikes, Red Poppy, Jailhouse Coffee, Stewart Brewing, Macgregor Industrial Supplies, Voom Nutrition, Nevis Medics, Highland Audi, Alpkit, By Sea By Land, Forestry and Land Scotland, plus Alan Anderson, Maree Todd and Liz Kraft — thank you for backing this madness.
Same forest. Same community. Same ridiculous challenge.
Until next time… ride safe, recover well, and don’t forget to clean your bike. 😉🚵♂️💙
