Absolutely brilliant – obviously the weather makes a massive difference, but the whole event was stunningly good. As this thread is about the trails I won’t bother with all the other good stuff, the food, the organisation, free beer etc, but it was a brilliant event.
As I mentioned, three days of riding – 32k Friday, 48k Saturday and about 30k Sunday – something like 20 special stages in total daily average of over 1,700 metres of descending (and about 1250m climbing!) each day.
Most of the trails would be very obvious and easy to find,they all finished with a final stage down into Allerford – but a different one each day!. Some of the special stages were one-off’s for the event, but be warned if you pick some of these up from Strava – a few were very, very steep and technical!
Did I mention free beer?
