Look at them, so bloody happy – until they need to pedal and then it’s pedally pedally pedally whine whine whine. STFU and pedal you shits.

No caps, spelling OK 2/10

Hates a strong word mate.

They are still cyclists, end of day.:)

Not sure I heard any whinning, just people saying the pedaly bits made it tough. Just a statement of fact not a complaint. Looked great to me, I’m thinking of doing a couple of enduro’s next year and the more pedaling the better for me.

Great trail!!

Is enduro XC on a full sus and in DH gear.?

Nice video.

Day off.

It’s made decide to go to Gisburn.

So that’s enduro, is it?
Looks like mountainbiking

Only managed a minute of that. Bit peddaly peddaly peddaly peddaly off.

Ever raced sirromj?

If it’s scored as a rant, I agree. But I think it’s probably a troll, posing as a rant. It’s irritating, unfair to the point of being irrational, but something that a lot of people are going to feel qualified to weigh in on. We’ll see where the post count gets to, but I’m thinking it’s at least A 4/10 in the troll/rant category.

😉

If you want to see people whinge about pedalling you should go to an uplift day. A bus ride to the top then a gentle 30sec slight incline has people off pushing and moaning about hills 🙄

So Enduro? = For when riding around a trail centre becomes to hard to navigate and you need to pay an even higher price to ride between two tapes so that you don’t get lost 😉

OP is envious of all the bright colours! 😀

That looked like fun 🙂

Video needed a few more people falling off in comical but non injuring ways, mind.

#Endooro is trailriding with a clock ticking that isn`t STRAFFA…..

Looks great!

Just like a normal bike ride really

Go ride one! Take your XC bike and kit, you’ll be fine!

the video made it look a bit tamer than it was, but even so it was quite a tame round. think they deliberately tried to wind it in a bit after the Grizedale one? also probably expected much worse conditions hence using more of the all weather tracks rather than the fresh cut stuff. all good fun.

I’m thinking of doing a couple of enduro’s next year

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Theoretically I should do ok 🙂

Don’t even consider trying to be Enduro without Enduro specific apparel.

The only whining I see is from you. They’re just commenting on the course.

#Endooro

Shirley…

Never done a ‘Enduro’ but I finally got to ride Gisburn last weekend,really enjoyed the place.
As said above those riders aren’t whinging they’re just commenting on the course.The only whining is from the OP..

Whiney person comes on internet to whine about enduroists whining

It must be Friday !

[three yorkshiremen mode]
Pedalling…? When I were a lad we carried our bikes up th’ills.
[/three yorkshiremen mode]

In fact, last weekend we carried our bikes up th’ills. 6,500 ft of hike-a-bike in a 20 mile “ride”!

That’s not whining, #endurowhining is pretty distinctive, it’s what we all did after riding stage 6 at this year’s tweedlove ews. It’s just like trail whining only you wear yellow shorts and have to pay £50 to do it.

Give them a break, 100% grinz factor can only be maintained by riding a fatbike – everyone knows that!

Get a coffee bud ! pointless whinge 😐

Everyone should race at least one Enduro – they’re absolutely amazing fun.

I have to admit, I can see how that vid’s a challenge to deal-with. Turn the audio balance to the right and you lose the “pedally pedally whine whine” but then you have to deal with the irritating “guitar guitar whine whine”.

You can just hit mute and watch some people riding their bikes, or indeed go for a ride yourself.

Never know, you might lighten up a bit 😉

Hate is a strong word.

Hate leads to the dark side. Well not any more, the FC closed it because the wood all went rotten.

I might be in the minority but I thought that looked good….

Looked alright, that. Didn’t see any whinging, just some riders observing what sort of riding they’d been doing (pedally, in case you missed it) 😉 . They all looked pretty happy about it though.

PMBA series looks good, doesn’t it? Might have to go and play at being pack-fodder at a few rounds next year. 🙂

I’m pack-fodder. 50th to 29th so far this season in my age group in PMBA’s sister series the Welsh Enduro Series. I’ve not yet decided if I’ll race the newly added final race at Dyfi or not or leave it until next year now. It’s been loads of fun and the guys at the pointy end are as fit as butcher’s dogs and deserve lots of respect. They only complain because it’s all part of the image of Enduro to complain about pedalling. If there was no pedalling it would be DH. If there was too much pedalling it would be XC. So somewhere in the middle with a gravity bias is where Enduro sits and the technical skills required for some events is on the DH side of things.

This year was my first season doing a few Enduro rounds.

What other kind of racing can you do where a World Cup DH racer comes to race and have fun riding alongside us normal folk on a weekend off? Hats off to Harry Heath at The Marin race. The following weekend he was sat in the hot seat for ages at the World Cup DH.

Yeh, bloody enduroists – I keep passing them on my mtb while commute

they never say hello do they ?

– oh

Is enduro XC on a full sus and in DH gear.?

Yes, and judging by the vid few of them even needed a Camelbak so no doubt a short ‘lap’ 🙂

does the ard rock enduro count? in which case its been moshed by beardie singlespeeder-ists on rigid bikes that cleaned all the climbs and were jolly quick when compared to the enduro masses overall
