Does anyone have pics of the trails at either / both venues?
Still unsure about the Keilder 100.

Thanks.
Looks like Glentress.
Awaiting blood test results from Watford General from Monday's full blood count as not 100% - but feeling a lot better than this time last week.
Then we can make a decision, plus a couple of long rides in the Peaks Tuesday / Wednesday next week.

Much rougher trail surface than GT. Bigger grade of aggregate used.

Hard to keep momentum in places, was glad I was riding a 6in FS bike.

Thanks all.
Will have a gander at the vid later.

How many STW people are riding the Keilder 100?

chakaping - your second pic. I went over the bars on the dropoff before that one and landed very firmly on the rock shown in that pic.
My hand still hurts ๐Ÿ™
Ace trail though.

I'm entered. I think Brant posted a list up on an earlier thread about the K100.
