Anybody game this Sunday for 2013? Will watch out for some retro if you are (I'll be on a 2002 Superlight, not retro, but not modern)

Looks like you had fun :) Did you like the new swoopy? (I* built that :)) *I - like legion, we are many, or at least a few.

Found 1 ...

Thats a good time, you would have been close to me on the course then? As the timing point for lap 2 was up the top of the big climb before the singletrack, so about 15 mins after the split, and I was 1:55 its was a fair chunk into the 2nd lap as from there to the finish was only 1:15...

Top work! 7th is good :) Mega congrats! I was 172nd finisher, so that's top 1/3rd for the Full Enduro. 3:13 .. and hour down on the winner! What was your time?

Well I usually travel and hour and a bit to Gisburn, so its "only" double...

According to AA routefinder its just under 2.5 hours to Betws-y-Coed from Work. So 8pm start is doable with 5:30 finish. Trail I've wanted to do, love night riding - crazy idea to combine the 2 ... replying as much so I can easily find this thread again. Thanks

I haven't entered, no. I have entered the Megavalanche and Scottish Downhill series ... I'm not sure how that happened..... I've also entered Nutcracker XC Rd1 & Whinlatter Challenge the latter being this weekend. And will be doing as much as I can generally. If theres a place available...

This bike has now lost all its remaining retro-ness .. well apart from the frame. Judy's replaced with 2005 Fox 100/130R Classic Hope brakes replaced by modern Avid Elixer/Juicy Use/Flite gone for modern Tru/Selle. SPD's need replacing as are falling apart (gone through 3 rights 1 left...

hehe, I wish I did 30 mile in 2:15, that was lap #2, just under 4 hours for almost 30mile/2 laps of Llandegla black for me. I'm reckoning under/almost 4 hours for whinlatter also, with more traffic plus the inevitable first lap trying to hard and REALLY suffering on lap #2 no matter how much...

Are they going to boot all the 29ers with there 700C wheels? The event is for Mountain Bikes, NO HYBRID's

I did 2 laps of Llandegla on Sunday as practise. 1st without stopping/unclipping & without granny ring took me about 1:45 - Second, with a stops for a cereal bar at the top of the first climb and some stop later to massage my cramping legs and crunching gears on the last few climbs took me just...

I'm wishing I had entered the half - lol I'm been doing regular 1.5-2.0 hour rides so OK up to a couple of hours but haven't done any riding over that. the second lap is going to kill me!

Yep that's the plan :)

I'm entered (Full) entered the half last year and had multiple chain snaps - will fit a new chain before the event - lol. I'll be on the Sintesi.

Should really sort my ass out and have a wander over with the Kona. No promises ... edit : - Got some ramp time, so going to sort this injector loom on the Polo .... will keep an eye on the rides, getting out more and more again :)

Well, might be a year since I started this thread.... but I didnt ride the bike all of 2011. However got a 21 day driving ban at the start of the year, and it kicked me int he arse to start commuting to work on the old girl! Its helped fitness, and has been good. Got my license back now, but...

yeah, waited a while my mate went back to hotel for shower, then swapped, so I wasnt there at the unload. did you keep seeing me in the event? I did keep getting passed on climbs and then making up some ground on descents so some people did keep coming past me and vice versa.
