Hey,

I'm racing in the Eastridge gravity enduro on the 4th & 5th of August, just wondering if anyone else is or fancies it?

I'm planning on doing the whole series either next year (if everything works out money wise), or if not deffo 2014.

I'm already entered. Fancy some training sometime?

Once I get the bike for the job (as my DH bike is no more, and my Trek won't cope) I'll be training at Aston.

Okay cool. Should be able to make it down to Aston a couple of times! What bikes will you guys be using? And what catergories are you in?(I'm in the under 18s)

Not been to Aston but keen to go. Sounds good. From what I have seen from the Coed Y Brenin round,we can train pretty much anywhere. It's all about going flat out for 3-7 mins. Max heart rate. Seems to be lots of pedaling thrown into the mix. Have a couple of routes in Epping and Thetford that work well also. Use Strava to compare notes and improve fitness.

I use a Lapierre Spicy, however, reckon even a hardtail at Eastridge would be fine. My parents live in Shrewsbury just down the road so may well do a reccie ride a few weeks before.

I'm in Masters. Came about mid field in the last race (only one over the bars moment).

Okay, I haven't been to Aston or Epping but i ride in Thetford a lot. I will be using a Specialized pitch pro 2011

Thetford will be good for the pedalling aspect but you'll need to throw yourself down some step stuff too!

i want to enter some of these next year

milk282 · **Posts:** 223

Yeah, but about 80% of what I ride is steep and fast and quite technical, I think that my real problem will be the pedaling!

Ah ok it sounded like your main practice ground was thetford which is somewhat on the flat side!
not that i can talk much danbury's not exactly steep

Ahaha yeah, will need to practice a fair but at Aston though because I haven't ridden trails like that for a while.
