[Closed] Strathpuffer 2010.

Yip. Part of a 4.

Hope so. Not sure what permutation yet. Is the course decided? Will the entries be limited again? Will there be snow? ice? rain? wind? Mud? All of the above?....
So many questions, so little time!

i fancy a trip north in the new year........ 😉

same brilliant painful course, restricted numbers, solos are set to fill up in minutes, pairs in hours, and quads in a day.

I can't wait, gives my winter training a focus, be as fit as i can be by february then try and get a lot fitter for the start of the sxc and british races....

another day of solo january torture? how could i miss it!

Haven't missed one yet.

Me & my mob on SS solos.

Been training by soaking up Oz sunshine and beer in N.Queensland. It is going to hurt this time.

Has Cullen-Bay advanced beyond bikes for frail old men? Is he ready to move onto a real bike yet? Is he going to go for a proper ride or is he going to let his mates do most of the work?

major respect to all who are entering.i would love to do the solo 24 hour,but i couldn't be more unfit.good luck to all of you 🙂

Here's the official announcement:

Thathar a’ creidsinn gu bheil an Strathpuffer24 an aon rèis rothar beinne 24-uair a thèid a chumail a gheamhradh air aghaidh an t-saoghail. Ann an ceann a tuath na h-Alba tha sin a’ ciallachadh 17 uairean de dhorchadas!
Thèid an tachartas a chumail ann an coilltean faisg air Srath Pheofair, 6 mìle an iar air Inbhir Pheofharain. Tha an cùrsa 11cm a dh’fhaid agus tha e a’ gabhail a-steach an dà chuid rathaidean leathann na coille agus slighean caol tro fhearann cas agus dùbhlanach. ’S iad Strathpuffer Earr., buidheann dhealasach de luchd-rothair, a bhios ga chur air dòigh, agus tha e a’ faighinn taic bho iomadh gnìomhachas ionadail is urraidhean. Tha an rèis a’ faighinn mòr-mholadh agus tha a-nis a’ tarraing àire luchd-rothair bho air feadh an àite. Bho chionn goirid, chaidh ainmeachadh mar an tachartas as fheàrr san RA leis an deasaiche aig irisean-rothair nàiseanta. Rinn an tachartas an t-uabhas gus spòrs rothar-beinne a thoirt air adhart san sgìre.

I really wish they could use the walker's path by the river again, the one from 2007. It brought a smile to my face even at 3 in the morning. The new bits of trail, while keeping everyone moving and taking away the muddy slogging of previous years, make the laps a bit short time wise and aren't that techie. More rocks required! 😉

More rocks required!

Radddog; Made of stuff that hasn't been discovered on earth yet!!! 😉

Aye - its a Scottish Event this one. Soft Southern Shandy Drinkers need not apply. 😉

epicyclo. yes, i am going to be riding a bike for a frail old man. in fact im not even sticking to just one side of suspension, i will in fact be doing it on my trance. trance will be blinged up (hopefully) but i couldnt put ice tyres on the carbon bike, imagine if it scraped?! plastic is the way forward, and next year i'll be riding this!

anyway. puffer is going to be epic, its the first mtb race of the year, and it marks the start of training having to be ramped up for the start of the year.

entering in a team of 4, at 15 years of age, we dont have the reserves to go it alone. 🙂
