Is it still limited to Bosch motored eBikes?
 
I'm pretty sure it was a couple of years ago, I can't remember when I first saw the events.
 
yes I remember that episode - without rewatching it pretty sure people on all sorts?
 
The course goes within 100 yds of my house. I hope I am fit enough (broken collarbone) and my Decoy has arrived :-)

I am entered but I have an issue with the Decoy. It is in the local Shimano center . They may have isolated the issue to the SC-7000 display and they are fitting another tomorrow. If I get the bike back the I plan to ride.

You got the decoy already ????
 
We are in for a treat fellas - course is looking cracking. No feet down sections look impossible. Just started raining, proper raining not that English “pish” Borders rain ???
 
I got a demo ride on a Canyon Spectral at the festival. The battery lasted 15 mins and when I took it back they said they did not have any other batteries for the medium sized bike ... duh . So my thoughts on Canyon are a bit suspect. My wife did ride the Neuron though and liked it so that may be a win.
 
That's piss poor. It's the same battery on all the Spectrals, regardless of size.

What stages are no feet down? I thought they were just using foot fault at the golfie and the push-up/make or brake on the other side for their uphill sections?
 
Just checked the map for the Emtb challenge.
It's not a particularly challenging route as far as trail difficulty goes in the area. Even the "advanced only" descent. (it's one of the most well established old Enduro stages and rides well with plenty of support in all weather conditions)
Here's the only tricky bit I can think of in the route for a "feet up" climbing challenge section (first 5 sec) any others look to be just fairly standard trail centre climbs with the odd manmade obsticle.


it's not massively difficult on a regular bike if you're reasonably fit.
I guess tweedlove think emtbers aren't very capable and want to keep it fairly easy to keep entry numbers high.

The route is easily do able on one battery.

It's raining today. Tomorrow is meant to be drier.
