My wife is a St. John Ambulance volunteer, and they do this event every year, so this time I tagged along. The course was about 3.5 miles long and there were two races - possibly 2 hours each.
I looked at a few of the competitors at lunch time, and could hardly see the scar on the back of their head where their brain had been surgically removed.
If anyone gets a chance to go to one of these, take it, but listen out for motorbikes and watch the flying clods of earth...
All these taken with either a 100-300 f4 Sigma, or my 24-105L. 30D. Straight out of the camera. No post processing yet.

He didn't fall off, and was one of the quickest out there...
