I’ve done it twice before and my names down for Sundays Whinlatter Challenge but not sure if I can be ar$ed.

If I did I don’t know if I will do the early drive up there or maybe camping over in the forest the night before.

You going?
Are you going up they day before?

I’ll be there, I’m local so just turn up in the morning.
Just checking the weather, could be cool 😥

My wee pal Julie is in for it, she won it (womens) last year IIRC, and is stronger this year.

Checking the results, may have been 2012.

After enduring my worst day on a bike ever last year, I’ve somehow signed up to do it all over again 😕

I can’t do this years, which is a bit pants.

I don’t think conditions could be much worse than last year.

Although I got a strange satisfaction from completing it, in a type 2 kind of way.

I’m in and looking forward to it. 2nd year after last year.

Good to see the annual racing on a bridleway event is back 😉

After last years debacle. I’m not bothering this year.

Double post!

There’s a big skutch of Manxies coming over for it John, the skinny type who ride on Tarmac too much.

The rest of us proper mountain bikers are busy organising our first Gravity Enduro at the end of next month, you should come over for it instead of the e2e 🙂

Only if you pay for my flight 😉 #FedUpOfFerries

I don’t think we’ve quite got to the stage of paying biking royalty to ride including their travel expenses but if the series takes off I’ll give you a shout 😀

The obligatory tyre choice post:

Would any locals care to comment on whether the best combo for this weekend is a Baron/RQ, or Ardent/Advantage, or some unholy combination of different tyre manufacturers?
