Chilterns Challenge today

Anyone else do it? Was really nice to ride somewhere new, trails were surprisingly dry for the most part and the loop was really well put together and clearly marked. Great cake at the end too. Fun times.

I’ve just got back from it, really good event and some nice riding. route making etc was spot-on as was the cake! Some of the hills were surprisingly tough in places considering I thought the south was supposed to be flat…

Just in case I saw you… I was in Salsa kit on a Salsa Selma.

I did it too, my first ride in these parts (moved from Wales a couple of months ago and have been riding elsewhere since) and I really enjoyed it, a real change of pace compared to what I’m used to! Bit more road than I’d maybe like but for the price the route was great. Must agree that a couple of the uphills were more challenging than I’d expected too.

Also, I lost my phone and about an hour ago a fella turned up at my door and gave it back to me after a dog walker had found it and turned it in and he offered to drop it off. Should you read this then a big, big thanks for getting that back to me!

the rigid singlespeed? I was on the other rigid singlespeed, the black niner.

it was a really good, friendly atmosphere throughout and I’ll keep an eye out for anything else they do.

Epic day for me, just ticked every button. Big well done to the organizers 🙂

Anyone have the gpx files to email? Quite fancy doing it one weekend (back from hols today). Not sure my fitness is up to it mind!
