Sounds like fun

I really like the look of this – is this just a single massive long down the mountain to the bottom race, or is it an enduro style 3 stages with transition riding inbetween?

Not sure tbh but I should imagine its just race 1 run with qualifiers … Im up for that like

That does look good. Shame it doesn’t really tell you the race format.

I’m hoping more info soon before I commit to it

sounds like one long run down the mountain……I would love to give it a go and if I can get some people together I may make the long trip from Wales!

Bingo ! cheers bud 🙂

I did it last year. Awesome fun. I made the mistake of trying to stay on the bike for the mass start bit on snow. Far, far quicker on foot. I made some time up on the climb. Best race I did last year

Think I’m sold. Time to rope some mates into doing it.

I cannot watch the video in work! Whats the format then BoardinBob? I realised that the link I put up was from 2012! Is it the same sort of thing?

This year it was 3 stages. Chairlift up and a bit of hikey bikey to get to the start. Big hikey bikey for the last mass start stage. 1 & 2 were solo runs. No practice but each stages uses the red downhill as the finisher with some tweaks between stages.

I really fancy this – anyone know if it normally sells out? I probably shouldn’t commit to it too far in advance in case I get some work in that weekend.

I just watched a bit of the video and it looks a lot of fun. Its the weekend after the Dyfi Enduro and I have done that a lot so this could be the idea alternative!

Cheers bob, looks bonkers so I’m in 😉

Looks like a lot of fun 🙂

I have entered. I may be doing it solo unless any of my lazy friends get involved too!

I did this as my first ever race this year. Loved it!

I signed up last year but didn’t make it, tempted to give it another go

How did this go? Everyone enjoy it?
