Five stages, how tough can it be 😂
Have they released the stage info? The section 11 closure signs at the Golfie suggested New York New York, Repeat Offender and Flat White as the stages on that side
Looked like repeat offender, community service and spanner to me, and mast to hydro via ho chi min and zoom or bust at gt is also in
Abigale was but a broken leg last weekend has put an end to the rest of the season.
Yep I'll be there. Surviving - I wouldn't call what I do 'racing'
Similar to Smogmonster. I’ll be riding and hopefully surviving. Racing, not so much.
MiniLD....as long as PCR comes back negative🤞
Street Pigeon will have the preview out on Wednesday. Will be a tough day.
I'll be racing as well. Be surprised if the course is released much before the weekend. Tweedlove tend to release pretty close to the event to avoid people coming up early doing multiple practice days.
I've been riding there this weekend, it'll be wild if they are using some of the stages suggested above
Eldest_oab is racing, he's on black Rocky Mountain, likely going bloody fast..
Do they put section 11 closures online in advance? I can only find stuff covering King and Queen.
I'm looking forward to seeing the course, so I can see where I can't ride. Third time I've been to valley this year and purley by coincidence, Tweedlove have had an Enduro on every time 🙂

They seem to appear a bit later, the physical ones have been up for about a week now
I'll be there! Heading up for Friday afternoon practice.
I'm expecting an e-mail with some course info any day...
Rider notes out. Stage 5 blind.
Looks like a long course but not a huge climb total. 3 forests?
Actually it's just that far from Peebles to Golfie and back.
Just joining dots but stage 1 might be Inners as the uplift will run on the Friday (but going to Ae Saturday and Sunday according to their FB) and 5 might be GT as there is a race there on Saturday?
at least i'm not riding seeded like the last time the ride from peebles to innerliethen was in the route. it was hard work coming back with a time limit to get up to the last stage.
this time it'll be a steady pedal chatting with mates.
From my travels and chats recently, I would say
Looked like repeat offender, community service and spanner to me, and mast to hydro via ho chi min and zoom or bust at gt is also in
This is likely to be pretty spot on. That's pretty chill apart from Spanner to be fair.
hope spanner is in, done 2 races that have used it and loved it. 2 mates who have ridden it, one like me loves it, the other hates it
I'm not familiar with the trail names, but from the above is the suggestion 2 in Glentress and 3 in Golfie?
If that's right, presumably Glentress is 1 and 5, with 1 being open for Saturday practice only?
Booked on inners uplift Friday so looks like Saturday is going to be a big day!
Pigeon's preview
GT stage a bit disappointing but hoping they add fire, slime and other stuff to spice it up.
Only ridden Spanner once and not sure how I feel about trying to do it fast, but happy to try!
I predict a few crashes tomorrow and a lot of tired riders. Going to be intresting and rain overnight...
What's the GT stage? I'm guessing something off the mast since that's pretty much the only way that riding back from innerleithen to GT makes sense?
Lol nope Dave's trail basically as far as I can see! Spanner is it's usual frisky self though
Its Fort/Happy Ending- the same as the final stage of the British Champs 2018.
Sorry, mtnboarder is right. Don't remember it being too technical? I had to sack of doing Community Service for family care so no chance of walking stage 5! Wouldn't make any difference tbh
Ouch, that was a hard day. Enjoyed 1+3, 4 was tough and not that keen on 2/5 personally. Punched many a tree this weekend, one crash today and a shoulder barge but 26/100 or so in my catagory so happy enough!
