    Think I might give it a try for an event that's going to see quite a lot of fire trails in order to link a little single track along its 100 mile length.
    I'd take the 29er which eats miles before breakfast, & then some, but for 13hrs in the saddle I am opting for the 26er which is a little more forgiving over long rides but has a number of damaged teeth on the 44 ring – so that was the reasoning for the post.

    there's a problem with that. seeing as the kielder enduro has a 12 hour time limit!!

    "The Bonty lap was 8 miles long, so you should really have done around 12-14 laps during the race (say 13 for arguement's sake – Tim). Bear in mind, to finish the Montane Kielder 100, you will have to maintain an average speed of 8mph to make all the check points by the cut off times."
    13 x 8 = 104.

    I don't understand how you can realistically have timed sections on an off-road route, far too many variables for it to mean anything!

    FWIW my 13 laps at 24/12 was 108 miles. What's the terrain like on the Kielder 100, is it lots of fireroad? I wouldn't have thought that many people would finish a tough 100 mile loop in 12 hours frankly!
