Right, made sure I got my entry in last night…
Now, as a first timer to this event, and never having visited Lee Quarry before either, which bike to take? And what tyres? 😳
Have seen a few vids of last years racing online, and some vids of the trails up there being ridden, looks smooth enough to not bother with full sus to me. Or will a 5″ full sus be an advantage overall do you reckon?
Tyre wise, thinking about 2.2-2.3″, fairly knobbly and grippy up front, but a fast rolling tyre on the back… Would that be about right? Or am I gonna lose too much time on the DH I can’t make up on the XC if I don’t go for all out grip?
