Really good video as always rob ??
I’d love to take part in one of these in the future a bit closer to sheffield would ideal.
I’m 47 so I’d probably be in dinosaur class but I’d give it a good go.
Keep up the good work ?????Rob

Didn't realise there are still trails of any consequence at Penhurst now that that touchy feely Kingdom lot have taken over. Smashed myself to pieces a couple of times at PORC over the years and laid up again now but will try and come along to say hello and heckle! Not cheap to enter though is it?

@Rob Hancill any idea where the next one is as I would love to have a go.
Penshurst in Kent. 7th Oct. Join me?

I’ve love to, but it’s the weekend before I go on holiday and given my unfortunate history of unscheduled dismounts there’s no way I’d get management approval...

Also, 45 quid seems a bit steep. Do you get a race jersey or goody bag for that?

Would be cool if you could join?

Here's the link:
Buy Tickets for Pedalhounds Multi Stage MTB Enduro 2018 - Race 7 - Penshurst Bike Park

We can create a EMTB Forums team :ROFLMAO:

I know it will be an amazing day out, However, I am a grand vet so racing against 18 year olds (There does not appear to be any other ebike class) does not sound like a level playing field to me even on an ebike.

I think I will wait until they start to mirror the acoustic classes before I get involved.

£45 is expensive but it is not cheap to run these events these days due to insurance, health and safety, staff costs etc.

Don't really want to remove my dongle.. can turn off. That sounds acceptable to me..

Ok how good do your skills have to be to race enduro? What sort of trail experience do you reckon would be sensible? Currently riding a kenevo.
Just basic skills, good protection recommended. The courses are have no big drops or gaps. I’d grade them a red absolute maximum.

Ah that's good to know, I'm not ready yet but hopefully get in some good winter riding at queen Elizabeth country park and aim to get the red route nailed. When you say basic skills?
