So what do you think?
Top end of 'Beginning of the End' has been done really well IMO and also like the new bit of the trail on the Beast(around Pugsley I think)
I know people say its been sanitised but thought it was all riding really well at the weekend
I was up there at the weekend too, was riding really well, apart from some running water down one trail (pugsly??)
Seemed quiet though!
Maybe you bumped into each other...?
Possibly??
I rode it Sunday. Really enjoyed it. Even the weather stayed nice, which is nice. I've only ridden there once, can't remember if it was 2 years ago or last year and only did the Dragon's back then, BUT, with regards to "sanitising" some bits which seemed smooth then are pretty rough now and vice versa. It's an ongoing process with trail preservation in mind. I preferred the old big roots on Pugsley but the new stuff offers its own challenges and rewards. I found the half way cafe this time too and can recommend the sarnies and tea. I passed quite a few people so it wasn't that quiet. It's quite motivating; the fear of looking a **** when you pass quite a big group of lads at the bottom of a climb only to realise it goes on for ever and gets more and more technical at the top! I gritted my teeth and cleaned it all but I was hanging out of my backside by the top.
I rode MBR a couple of weekends ago - loved it despite being very wet. The last sections to the cafe flow great and I went fast enough to scare myself on some corners.
