It just down the road from but Unfortunately I got to go to another race, But going to help set up. ๐Ÿ˜‰

The course is looking good, ace singletrack, few new tracks that are riding well, good prizes and more spot prizes this year so every one got a chance of wining something. Prizes from Charge bikes, Mule Bar, four4th lights and FTR.
12 hour and 6 hour day Starts at midday, and the night 6 hour start 1800!

So who going and are you solo/pairs or team 6 or 12 hour??

Solo six hours day as my lights are Kaput. I think I've ridden with you round there a few times Rob! Hope all well.

12 hour solo male veteran. Look for the big fat beardy bloke in the Vegan Cyclists kit riding a Qoroz belt drive Lefty 29er.
I'll be sharing my tent with a friend riding 12 hour solo female veteran. Dunno what she'll be wearing though, Qoroz or Cardiff team kit most likely and riding a Qoroz 29er.

Hopefully 6hr night solo, provided the cold I seem to have caught has gone by then.

Graham - there isn't a veterans category as far as I can see, which is a shame as I am also old enough. They scrapped it last year when they introduced the 6hr categories.

The sun is coming! She's out there busting out a few laps now. She's then racing all day, keeping going just as long as she can ๐Ÿ˜€
Bring on a dry and dusty weekend!

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Yep, 12hr mixed team.

Look out for Team Discharge Bikes, I'll be on an Orange Giant Anthem in a white and black top with Discharge across the front ๐Ÿ˜‰

Sun all week means happy dry trails. Good times

I'm there, doing the 12hr as a pair. The first proper enduro (other than gorrick 100) that I've done, thus dead excited! Lets just hope the sun stays out for it!

I'm moving this weekend so no racing for me. However, I'm moving back to Plymouth which has some cracking trails, so not all bad, eh?

Had hoped to be their mixing it up in the 12h singlespeeds again, but I have to be hauling over some big hills in Nice (not so bad really!). Maybe next year!

I wanted to do it but had a manic few months and this could potentially be my first weekend off. IfWith the weather we're having it could be quite a good day out.

wow lot of solos, a few pairs, 1 mixed team,
no male teams or female teams on here??

The wettest parts are drying out nicely. should be good weekend.
Best of luck to all thats raceing, might be a few spaces left on the day if you lucky.

Come on Taff it be a walk in the park after you 24 hour solo UK champs a few weeks back. If Taff is the right/same taff I am think of....;-)

I've just emptied sainsburys of all the water and lucazade sport. Summer tyres in the bike, a mountain of pasta to eat tonight. Going to be great!

What tyres? Would you recommend MUDx?

There's nothing wrong with the mud x, it'll actually work pretty well in the woods once it gets a bit loose. I've gone for Racing Ralfs but might stick a nobby nic on the front when it gets cut up / I get tired.
My mud x's will be in camp ready for a thunderstorm to soak the place at 11:55!

Ive been getting on fine with high rollers but am considering my race kings; it's really dry at the moment.
