Off Beat I think mainly had hardrocks and bighits last year. They might possibly have some FSRs though.

How much was the hire on the FSR?

We are going up to FW on saturday 29th May and I want to do the red XC route, but I think it might be a bit harsh on my stumpy HT 😉

I have also just found out that I will only be able to do it on the Sunday, as for the rest of the week the trail will be shut due to the world cup, I was hoping it wouldnt be closed for the whole week.

£40 mounty. they were very dead on will put on SPD's or flats for you and you get repair gear, helmet etc if you need it. Handy for me as i'm flying so can't bring much
