I'm riding the Downhill Enduro at Fort William tomorrow and have never ridden the track. Should I be worried?

I shall attempt not to break anything. Just don't want to get in everyone's way. The other women are all 'proper' downhillers! EEK.

12 runs completed, not including one run in the morning just to see what it was like.

My arms are hurty!

So where did you come then? How did BJ do?

3rd lady 44th overall. First and second lady did one run more than me.
BJ did 12 too but had a puncture and some chain probs. It pished it down and was the mentalest thing I've done on a bike. Way harder than the Megavalanche.

Handz took Luke's entry (ooer!) on a hardtail and managed 5 runs before giving up in disgust at how many punctures he got. Winning hardtail rider did 15! and from lap 7 was effectively riding a rigid as his forks gave up too.

Oh, and my Mleh jersey is wrecked as I had a big off, landing on my chest and ripped the front out of it. Thank god for body armour else I'd have ridden the rest of that run with my right boob hanging out!

Well done - that's 11 more than I've managed, though my single run did turn me into Buster Gonad for a while... 😳

It's those sharp XC saddles that get you, isn't it?
