Moan, moan, moan, moan, moan…..
No festival? err where we at the same event!!!!
May be you should have interacted with other riders, engaged in a bit of banter. Waved and smiled at the young lasses giving every one the cheer leader routine after the brider, high fived the kids on the Kenda climb and though the camp site, pulled (or attempted in my case) a wheelie when asked too. There was plenty of atmospher, may be you where to self absorbed to notice it, or chose not not.
Not my favorite course either by hey, some years it suits you other years it dosn’t.
If you can think you can do better, then go ahead.
Organise a mtb event with 100% off road/technical that meets your approval. (fyi I do, or at least I am on the committee that does)
