Was trying and trying and trying to figure out from the event info when it was... For those that are still looking its the 7th July and I'll be fooked after Bedgebury Insomnia so can't make it!

Good luck Bob!

Hi all,
Entered it I hope it is in Surrey
I believe it is a open event and run by army.....
I found it on the events in uk.
.Have not raced since July last year so thought I have a go at it.
Been off the week end so not on the computer.
Chat later.
P.s. I aint tough -big spfty- but up for a laugh .
Bob

Hi,
Well what can I say,
Changed it from a 4 hour to the 6hr.
Recommend it.
The track was great.
The people welcoming .
drank 10litres of water.
4 laps -mec (rear derailer ) /chain several unplanned dis-mounts .
Combination of everything -fast tracks flat- down hill jumps holes ditches climbs woods stones .
I really enjoyed it now I am looking back ,but at the time it was HARD.
I was troubled by my mec but finished the time.
Stopped regularly to let the boys pass after the second lap.
Winner did 10 laps and hats off .
If you ever get the urge recommend the 4 hr not the 6 as it was open and only a couple of winners as against the other races had cats.

Sounds all good always a shame when mechanicals get in the way. I remember getting two punctures in the first lap of an enduro once ( none for months before or months after )
Top weather if not a little hot

Hi,
Little hot was a understatement.
I was 31 people pulled out hence higher up.
There was a few above me that only rode for 3 hours which although they did the same laps/more did not ride for 6hours....
I think they should have been failed to complete and be below me...
They were army /navy and super fit lycra out fits (support etc.
was really challenging skills wise and if you put epping/ warley and the Sahara all together you would get a good idea.

Was I tough enough no chance but did I challenge myself I did. and passed . (Though delaying the last lap so I did noty go round for a 5th lap might be a cheat,)
