Vallelujah

2012 was a far easier course though- hardest stage was broon troot. Don’t know about length but it wasn’t physically that hard. 2013 was a big escalation

True, though didn’t count it as.
a. I didn’t do it!
b. It had 2 climbs so not really “enduro”

Did you not marshall it, up at the boundary? Or have I done a STW name/face mixup thing again?

2012 was done on a points system, with your worst stage not counting. IIRC 1st got 1 point, 2nd 2 points and so on, with the person with the lowest points winning.

After that it went to a more standard enduro format.

The latter 😀

Northwind, think you’re thinking of bigdugsbaws who marshalled up top that year.

To be honest this is the type of thing i was expecting/hoping for:

(it was berm baby berm/electric blue, broon troot, spooky-shallow-rave-hitsquad, then the fort descent IIRC. Oh and 2 bastard timed climbs!)

Well without timed climbs….

All these dugs look the same to me!

Oh, we were supposed to be digging on bside at the weekend but that’s cancelled so that’s looking even less likely as a stage. But you never know. I still say cademuir, it fits the teases. I’ve not been up there since before it got Forestried but I gather the dh is back in service?

Going to be an awesome stage again.

Did notice that the stuff they’d used to block the link/chute that took you from the blue after spooky wood into brown trout has been significantly cleared. Just a few branches covering it yesterday so a good chance that’s in

Most probably same trail used in K&Q then down to bottom of Broon Troot from corner using natural spooky

Cademuir confirmed btw- there’s a sign up for exemption of access rights. You lucky people!

Do you have to wear a helmet on the transitions here? I would prefer a full face for the stages but I don’t fancy climbing in it.

Yes

Thanks Doug

Yes, the exemption of access rights signs do kind of spoil the guessing game fun ! I was hoping to start some ludicrous rumors via this website, so that game is over.

Word on the street is the theme is ‘four corners’ so there are going to be stages at GT, Cademuir, Inners and the golfy. Supposed to be 60K+ so bring yer climbing legs

That’s not quite right pigyn. First stage will be at Yair

Sorry, ‘four corners + an out and back’

If I got to plan events, no one would enter them

Not for Vallelujah.

Maybe the International or K&Q though…

I heard it’s a climb, up double decker.

Race details and stage locations are out. 5 stages, 3 in Glentress, aprox 32km overall.

So i guess both the cademuir trails are running now, good stuff, need to hit them soon

Very much looking forward to this now!

If anyone spots an Audi driving, all-the-gear-no-idea, enduro colorway-clad fool on a snot green Giant Reign then say Hi. I’ll feel a little less Billy-no-mates then 😀

You need to narrow it down a bit for us prouster 😉

Assuming they let me out of the hospital on Thursday night I will be the one sat in the camp site with a pot on my right foot. Bit peeved that it will be the first time I’ve been to Glentress and not rode my bike. wont even bee able to wander to the stages to cheer everyone on.

Think I’m marshalling so I’ll shout some abuse at you Proutster, it’ll be just like old times.

OK, I also sound like a faaaarmer

Great! Let me know whereabouts you are and I’ll try to throw some straight back – although that involves multitasking and that’s usually where things go wrong

Are you marshalling Northwind ? You are not on my list – if you are who I think you are that is. Or Dougie.

You are not on my list

Ouch, does that mean he’s not getting in?!

I’ve not heard anything back but yeah, sent a FB message volunteering for sunday. Passive aggressively asking to be put somewhere fun not marshalling a road junction or some pish, so yo never know, perhaps I’m not wanted 😆

I like the ‘what tyres’ section 😆

Bottle of red wine and the name of the kiwi prime minister will get you a good spot. Or the new Loretta Lynne album.

Northwind – you are def wanted will email you. You have “know what I am doing” written all over you so will be a start or finish I would think, sorting that all our now.

I thought you were a Julie Andrews man, Steven ??

Variety is the spice of life.

I am going to this, cannot wait! Ridden Glentress many times but looking forward to discovering some of its hidden trails!

Keep an eye out for a top trail mincer on a bright pink Bronson. Heckling is appreciated!!

*Edit* Speaking of tires, I will be rocking a Shorty up front and a Minion SS oot back. Will I die?

I’ve been considering the Minion SS out back too, but have stuck with the HRII so far. An enduro might not be the best time to try a tyre for the first time 🙂
