People was describing the stages close to DH runs for trail bikes!

Enjoyed your company Jamie

Buzzing!

I thought FoD and Quantocks were steeper and more DH orientated than Ard Rock, i prefered the flow of these trails.

With regards to times I took it real easy to be honest as spent alot of time on conditioning my legs for the transitions (45km loop so alot of climbing between stages ) hoping for no mechanicals as see shed loads of torn tyres in practise! ( poor line choice maybe) , trying to keep composed & control my adrenaline ( no silly mistakes & over cooking it ) & see the 5 stages through!, first time holiday in Yorkshire let alone riding there! Also along way from home, big off no work unhappy boss , two small mouths to feed ect! so yes could've launched myself alot harder but was happy I managed to control myself ! lol!

Stage 1 i was too reserved and crashed because of it.
stage 2 got my feeling back.
Stage 3 gunned it and wiped out

Who put that mud there!

Glad your ok, looks like everyone had fun overall

Lol yeah wasn't loads of mud about, certainly wasn't expecting that

Had a fantastic weekend, racing the Enduro Sport in the Masters Seniors (U40) and came in 16th in the category and 38th overall on the Saturday!

Had one puncture in a transfer and one right at the finish line, which didn't seem to slow me down. What a great weekend, and boy, what climbs! Did not think the uphills would be this bad and long.

Would definitely do it again. Race number was 1321.

Likewise Simon

It was the scariest thing i have ever done, loved the blind steep slope on section 1, back wheel skid down section 2 into sharp left, otherwise game over as cliff edge, that bloody hike a bike up from stage 4 almost twisted my ankle walking the bike up it......

Going next year. "To bloody right"
