Video: The Beast is tamed. Just.

The second of the Wiggle Super Series sportives, the Jurassic Beast run from the  Bovington Tank Museum and around Dorset, was held last Sunday and what a contrast to the first.

Remember we showed the video of last month's 'perfect' New Forest Classic? Big smiles from beginning to end with riders in t-shirts and slapping on sun screen? It was all a bit different for last Sunday's Jurassic Beast event where the hardest of the hard-core looked apprehensive from the start and only began to smile as they removed their mud-splattered shades at the end.

In conditions that the organisers describe as "Brutal with high winds, rain and even hail" the event was run off successfully nonetheless with a heightened sense of achievement for the riders who toughed it out. Now watch Ross Chapman's latest video and you'll see something you don't often see at a road event.
