Cheers for the peaks route advice I will take a look at a map and find some newer trails to play on down there. Good luck for your future pairs/ solo races (i think you mentioned both?) Was wishing I was riding my normal trail bike instead of the short travel hardtail which struggled on the big rooty sections, but snapped the shifter with my foot bailing on out pre-ride on friday night. Had the full suspension in the back if the car but with no shifter I had no choice but to run the hardtail singlespeed. The two steep climbs at the end of the lap were not fun! Think we finished 4th overall 5 minutes off third with 9 laps. Considering everything that happened we have to be pleased with that! Those solo riders at the top were quick- 10 laps around 10 hours was impressive! trail_rat on "10 @ kirroughtree" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/10-kirroughtree#post-2749567 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 10:08:56 +0000 trail_rat 2749567@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ People where great about passing too, except for one gentleman - on a 150mm travel beast who insisted he would be much quicker down singletrack after the tarmac climb id just passed him on ..... he wasnt - then dougal passed me on the next climb <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_sad.gif" title=":(" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> Dougal on "10 @ kirroughtree" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/10-kirroughtree#post-2749537 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 09:58:32 +0000 Dougal 2749537@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Great course, though second half was better than first.

Big respect to anyone soloing that course, I can imagine the first third of it would fry your brain after six hours or so. Thought people were brilliant about passing out on the course too, none of the passive aggressive crap I've encountered at other events. Defaultslipper, hope your mate's feeling better. I was camped next to you guys - blue tent, ti hardtail, Freeride Spain/Brixton Cycles jerseys - and we had a bit of a chat mid-race, I'd ridden past him when he was sat by the side of the trail with a neck brace on. Nice meeting you. Anyway, to anyone southern based thinking about doing a No Fuss event in the future, I'd say go for it despite the distance - well organised, great 'just technical enough' course and a really mellow, friendly atmosphere. One of the nicest events I've done. stevemtb on "10 @ kirroughtree" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/10-kirroughtree#post-2749028 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 06:38:15 +0000 stevemtb 2749028@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ What an awesome day that was, I'm still in pain today pretty much head to toe, stairs were not fun yesterday!! Went OTB on the steeper of the natural sections on my first lap and never really got on with it after that (even took to pushing down it on my last lap as I could barely hold on :oops:). Really enjoyed the existing sections but being on a hired 29er for the first big wheel experience I never really got hooked up over the roots. Rocky sections were a breeze though!

Rode the old trail section today and wished id climbed the road . Was less fire road than previous years im adamant ! Favorite section was after the rocky decent to fire road crossing to batter down the natural section - loved that natural section - brakes off and just throw the bike about ! Less kittylitter is better in the dry ! Of course thats my opinion stevio on "10 @ kirroughtree" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/10-kirroughtree#post-2748418 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 19:45:36 +0000 stevio 2748418@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Thought that whilst overall the course was good, and it contained all my fave bits there is too much doubletrack/road slipping in. Each year there seems to be a bit more. This year the road climb bit seemed pointless. Why not stick with the original trail? Why go up a road, along firetrack, and then come down to drag loads of mud onto the existing trail? As posters have said there was no issue with passing generally; i certainly let as many fast riders passed as i was freely able to pass others. i've done this 4 years now, and love the event though i'll never bother the winners!! trail_rat on "10 @ kirroughtree" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/10-kirroughtree#post-2748382 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 19:35:01 +0000 trail_rat 2748382@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ He won - naturally haha Nobeerinthefridge on "10 @ kirroughtree" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/10-kirroughtree#post-2748353 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 19:25:42 +0000 Nobeerinthefridge 2748353@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ How'd you get on, Greg?. radoggair on "10 @ kirroughtree" http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/10-kirroughtree#post-2748089 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 17:45:22 +0000 radoggair 2748089@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ great day out, mixed feelings about the course. Wasn't the biggest fan of the first half of it and dreaded starting every lap. 2nd half flowed so much better, great fast rooty sections, 2 fearsomely steep climbs and was fun. Weather drying out the course helped alot and thankfully it never rained ( was actually dare i say it pretty hot at times). Good atmosphere around and everyone was friendly and polite with no 'race leader coming through' shenanigans like last year. Usual early puncture for me, followed by a crash as i tried to make up time ( blimming trees ) The hog roast roll was amazing at the end The midges were as usual horrendous You cant eat chocolate cookies when racing without drinking at the same time Marshalls were again outstanding ( although chilling in a recliner at the side of the course sounded a good bet ) The start was again way too fast ( i even suggested that everyone take it easy till top of the climb <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> ) and......... many many thanks too my pit crew and great friends Doug and Iain for there invaluable support.
