Best of luck with SDW x2 thingy.. I may come over to watch but catching you along that route will be very difficult indeed.
All the best.
As for me, I’ve not done a long CX event for a little while. Shame that Afan thingy wasn’t upto much. I agree that CX’er are fit for anything MTB’s can do except the rocky decents, even then we’d just get off and carry the thing down which in itself is quite fun.
Fire roads I like but again they can be dull, best to try and get an event that switches on/off these over the course, fine if yo have to do a mile or two but even then thats a long time on the big ring slogging it.
I shall be seeking out some long CX rides soon.. I have the Grand Union Canal to do later this week, then a mate who wants us to do a two day event with an overnight stop somewhere nice.. Looking for inspiration on that, thinking Dartmoor ATM or Exmoor… we’ll see.
I’m not doing Wiggle SDW 100, don’t fancy mixing it up with a whole load of walkers, families and horse riders and possibly 100 blokes on bikes hacking it.. just too much angst I feel. I may pop on over to see the event ride over Harting Way then peel off and have fun in the Downs.
If anyone has an event they think would suit it would be good to hear from you.
