Looking for some inspiration for 2018, did quite well with the STW Fat Club earlier in the year, but lack of focus on any specific goal or anything and I slipped back into my old ways, and have put about 9lb of the 16lb I lost back on already going into winter.
I quite fancy doing a few longer format XC events, I loved the Wentwood 50 (sadly taking a sabbatical for 2018) the couple of times I’ve done it, have done HONC & FoD Wild Boar chase a number of times, but looking what else is out there preferably a bit more technical like Wentwood, but still in the 50km+ “out there and back” style format… I’ve never done any of the Scott MTB Marathon series, are they any good?
I have a suitable bike already, so this is more of an excuse to get me riding it more than actually buying a new bike.
So… What other events would you suggest? Ideally within 2hrs of Worcester travelling wise, but happy to do overnighters for any event that may be further but worth it. Not interested in short course XC stuff, or 12/24hr races any more.
