    That reminds me, I better sort my entry out 😳

    I did a lap of the course this morning and it is definitely one of the better (if not the best!) enduro courses in the UK. Lots of fun singletrack 😀

    Jason same here better sort it out now I guess 6 hr solo it have to be..

    The singletrack sure is giving out a lot of speed…. ”Ant Hill Mob” think there 5 ants nests in that bit should make picking the right line intresting..

    Peter Poddy planned this event, built the land that the event is on (from a pile of twigs and leaves), and will be keeping an eye on all riders to ensure no cheating…….
    He’s also the army (all of it).

    So are Pants and PeterPoddy the same person? and PeterPoddy just uses the Pants user name when he is organising this event.

    Hell no.

    Pants is very real. DrP is on a wind up mission…..

    I might just do that, I have heard a few rumours that the course is very good 🙂

    If you like enduro courses with lots of fireroad, you’ll hate it. If you like tight singletrack, you’ll love it. Last years course was a cracker.

    You coming Dez?

    Thinking ’bout it. It’ll be my first serious off-roading since the hand injury, so I could probably easily be persuaded to do something easier (“ROB??!”)
    But I do have that Alps crossing to get fit for next month…

    still not entered!

    gonna wait until i get out of bed on sunday before making a decision between 6, 4 or 2 hours.

    I am sure PP and Pants are not the same person. Although perhaps they should be!

    Yeah, I like the thought of 4 though.. the suffering will mostly be over and I’ll be into a groove.. then 2 minutes later, the end. 🙂

    Isn’t this the event Peter Pody organised last year?

    What time does the entry on the day close? If I do eg the over 40’s 2 hour, which starts at 2ish, can i sign on at 1 pm?
    I know it doesnt leave alot of recce time, but looking at the Garmin over satelite piccys I am prtty sure i have ridden most of it with Jay.

    Yes you will be able to. MOst people aren’t going to be doing pre-ride laps frankly, so an hour will be plenty of time.

    Pants organised it last year, with help with PP, and most of the Trolls.

    A hour before race start should be ok to pay and get your race number.

    Peter & Pants, thanks for clearing up the entry on the day situation. Will there be a pit area to leave bottles, and is there any water on site?

    What is the pitting arrangement for pairs?
    Is there a fixed area for riders and gear such as Wiggle Enduro 6?
    Can the pits be entered during the race, if leaving spares in car etc?

    Yepp fixed area for pairs and teams!!

    Jason

    pants, are you sure it is the same as Enduro 6? That has a closed pit lane. So once you are in the pit area you can’t leave until the race has finished, which means when you partner is out racing you just have to sit in the pit area – with no chance to look around all the trade stands.

    It better not be as I have the kids arriving in the afternoon…

    Pits are NOT the same as Enduro6 – there are no rules on entering/leaving the pits during the race
