Guys,

I have missed the entry date for PduS ๐Ÿ™ Does anyone have an entry (or 2!) they don't want. Happy to take a start point from any location.

Skiddie

Do you have a good reason for wanting to do it? E.g. mates already booked on to it.

If not, my advice would be to go a different weekend. You can ride the same area, using the same or better trails without the lift queues. I've done both and wouldn't bother with the organised event again.

higgo - the PDS is an event about the atmosphere. Sure that weekend is crowded but I thought that it was more a celebration of mountain biking than anything else!

If you havent done it before its well worth doing.

We have booked a guide for one of our days there. Would be good to get some local off-the-radar trails in!

True, but [u]for me[/u] for atmosphere (and free sausage) wasn't worth the lift queues and congestion on the trails.

It's a difficult one to explain - I enjoyed it and I'm glad I did it but it's just that (with the benefit of hindsight) I think I'd rather have been there a different weekend. Conversely, having done the Megavalanche, I don't think I'd enjoy a day on the Mega course anything like as much as I enjoyed the whole event thing.
