    I’m in.

    Registered with my muscle amish bike. Hoping I may have an ecstacy bike by then.

    In with a crew from the club. Good times.

    (as long as I can keep my head in it – failed spectacularly to do that this year!)

    Great event. I have taken photos the last few years:

    First time entrant. Riding with the local club crew.

    Excited and nervous in equal measure. Must get some miles in.

    I think they dropped the marathon or whatever it was called to make more space in the enduro.

    Ticket booked. Now to prevaricate and only ride the turbo until three days before when I realise I can’t remember how flat bar shifters or brakes work.

    Right then, not long until the event.

    The last time I camped was Latitude Festival 2013 and this is my first time EVER doing an enduro race… What am I going to need to take with me?

    Beer.

    Beer.
    Ear plugs
    Maybe a tent might be a good idea.

    I guess you should probably take a bike, but I don’t suppose that matters so much

    Those obvious things, got them 😉

    Something to wipe your bum with.

    Although going by your question you’re probably not sure how to do that either.

    OOOHH ZING!! 😀

    Water….

    Plus non shower type cleaning equipment.

    Water….

    What on earth for?

    You can drink beer, you can make coffee with beer, you can cook with beer and make porridge with beer.

    Plus non shower type cleaning equipment.

    The only real reason to think water might be a good idea is a shower and yet you suggest that’s not the reason at all, wet wipes already being wet and all.

    Timely reminder that I entered this event.

    Any recommendations for places to stay around there? Thirsk I guess must have some spots. Coming from Manc so a bit too much driving to go there and back each day.

    anyone need/want a ticket with two nights camping? the event starts this Friday

    A recent (annoying, painful) shoulder injury is keeping me off the bike for much longer than I expected. I am very sad about it.

    DM me for details.

    I’m bloody gutted the start time I picked back on the 5th never saved so had to go for 13.50. Emailed them hoping I can get in earlier need to be done in decent time TBH. On the plus side weathers looking good.

    Start time email came through Sat 6th, go on sientries and pick your time but cant imagine many/any early slots will be available.
    A mate is up there now and he tells me no open fires or BBQs this year.

    Ah pants. Thanks for confirming now though, so I didn’t bother packing it

    Looks like my info wasn’t totally accurate, off ground BBQs are allowed but no firepits.

    Yeah email from last night / this morning says

    Off ground BBQ ok but no open fires or fire pits

    Just watched a view videos of previous years – looks very pedally!

    I’ve put a slaughter on the back this morning and if I can get the wheel retaped it’ll be a butcher front I think and I’ll see how they hold up Saturday.

    Spare shortys at the ready mind…

    Stages not very pedally. For a mid pack rider expect each stage to be 2 – 2.5 minutes long. Three midsection probably the most pedalling.

    It’s certainly not hard but you do have to pedal to go faster. Racing innit!

    Two points of order.

    It’s certainly not hard but you do have to pedal to go faster

    You scream to go faster, not pedal. Have you never been to a fair?

    Racing innit!

    Rubbing is racing. Not pedaling.
