Lock downs not been kind to my fitness or mad skilzz
I'm there, really looking forward as I've not done it before!
Look out for me I'll be in a black Sreg VW t4 and on a camo coloured bergamont.
Might have had a haircut but if I don't I'm slighty overweight* with hair like HeMan.
I prefer the term stocky...
I wish…child number 3 due date has scuppered my plans. Enjoy guys it’s a superb event
Had an entry but the rearranged date is the only weekend I have anything planned for this year 🙄
Deferred my entry to 2022😃
Yeah I've deferred to next year. Off to Lakes instead so not all bad 😉
Luck of the Good to all that compete!
Meeeee
I've deffered till next year. Health issues stopping me this year, hopefully sorted by next year.
Yep, surprised that camping is on though TBH
I'm not with the camping tbf dont see the risk
Campsites are open and Pmba went ahead.
Last time they had no showers and single shitcubicles so it's as safe as can be.
yep, looking forward to it, stage 1 is blind, although i bet i've ridden it 6 times..
pedal hard, until you see the Rhododendron, brake then its a sharp left.. ;0)
must be entertaining for the marshall on that spot.
Looking forward to biking weekend!
See you there!
see you there
Hope you've all logged in to assign a time for chip collection.
Yeah also bagged an early race slot too....
Getting there 5ish Friday looking forward to it!
No blind stage for some reason
stage 1 is blind, stage 2-3-4-5 in order the paperwork says, email received early June, no later email contradicts this.

@whatyadoinsucka the pdf download from the website says you can practice stage 1.
Have a good one!
I'm there! Got a last minute transferred entry
It’s a damn shame the original stage 5 is no more Really enjoyed the balls out fastness of that one,
Looks like another wood based stage for 5
Map and pdf on site
aye shame at a different stage 5
A bigger shame is the absolute shitefest weather that is forecast
@andybrad, yeah that stage is were the fitter, ride all year round riders still have the legs..
@scandal42 decided not to camp this year, drive up and back both days,
so weather wise, if its dry now i cant see the rain hampering the course that much.. I hope..
my local woods in west yorkshire are pretty dry.
Well I miss stage 5 but not the transition...
If anyones here I'm in field A not far from the jetwash. Black van with a blue seat and a beige x2 either side.
Ciao!
I was up there today doing the Glorious Gravel Sportive, looked to be a good few riders out practicing. Rained nearly all day but not too heavily. It’s great to have events back on again!
Enjoy yourselves tomorrow!
Great to have events running again and felt very relaxed. My lad decided he was going to hit the finish ramp at race speed, camera out;
50% chance of rain rather than yesterday's 100% so hoping for a good day.
Touch slippy at points today
Didn't bin it but either hit traffic or messed the stage up....
But hey I'm only there for fun.
I binned it on stage 2, lost the front on one of the (slick) chutes. Drier today than yesterday though! Got back and set off just before the storm hit. Rubbish times but an awesome weekend, as said its all about the fun for me too.
Personally I think stage 4-5 should be swapped round as the end of 4 would be an awesome finale with the sketchy drop/turn followed by the jumps.
Yeah I think that's a fair shout but I dont think it would lend its self to getting back to base so well!
I got caught out with the rain at the bottom of 4 which meant stage 5 was very different, but a good days racing.
Bloody good event, had a small crash on 2 went by going over the top of the rocky berm. Pretty happy with my mid pack placing.
The storm hit about 30s before we started 5, was like a river and got stuck in traffic but it made fun 😁
