if you use the code EARLYBIRD, before the end of this month, you'll get a fiver off..

 

[MitchF]

Cheers, that’s on my doorstep.
I’m in ??

Anyone else booked in for this?

It's a staggered start ... what more encouragement do you need to go as fast as possible so no viral carrying individual can breath and spit all over you

Remember, if you decide to wear a face mask when not riding, do not touch the outside of it when you take it off as it could be covered in virus, rendering the whole thing pointless.

Best bet is go naked and don't wash for a few days first - guarantees you a wide berth.

Naked? In Wales, in this current cold snap? Certainly brings a whole new definition to, spring..

 

[MitchF]

Mate, I get wide birth naked or not ??

Great event ?

 

[billwarwick]

How was it with ebikes and non - ebikes on the course at the same time ?
Any problems?

None at all - where the eB's excelled was obviously on the uphills, so they were all too knackered to moan..

Those who were faster downhill, simply said which side they'd be passing, as we did, and it was accepted. This enduro format was billed as 'not a race', although all laps would be timed. There was no presentations, as some riders would still be out on course, by the time others have finished and had set off home, with it having a staggered start. A truly relaxed event, where all bikes and genders were treated similarly. I guess a lot on normal bikes, know, that they'll be electric soon enough..

The timings , we did OK ️?
Scott , you smashed that last lap ??
Battery life stopped my third lap ?

@MitchF I was only able to 'smash' that last lap, as you call it, due to the immaculate pacing I received from yourself on the first tour..

 

[billwarwick]

Hmm.. bit of a bromance going on here
sounds like a good day, not too serious.
Mitch, did you start the third lap, or realize that you didn't have the range to make it?
At least you didn't get lost

 

[R120]

What are the trails like? From all the media I have seen it looks super Gnar, but I take it there is some more chilled stuff?

Would like to pay a visit but given current goings on I dont want to be risking injury and pushing things too much.

@R120 You could get knocked over & hurt, in the rush for toilet rolls as it stands today.

As for gnar & more chilled stuff, I guess it all depends what 'level/standard' you are comfortable riding. Lap times reflected each riders level of ability. Lap1 was always going to be congested as the groups levelled out. I'm sure there's plenty of trails to be had at CYB to suit all levels. A simple ask in the bike shop should help you for sure. I can only comment on the trail that was waymarked for yesterday's enduro. Of which I'd say, they would be a blue/red mix.

Yesterday's course was designed to introduce all levels/genders to an enduro format. Personally, it wasn't super technical or gnarly however I'd welcome another visit there in the future, even given that I live just over 5hrs away
