Really? Is that common at this sort of event? Sounds like a massive waste to me.

I spoke to so many people that pulled out after practice. More fool them as the race conditions were perfect. There were 200 E2 places and only 171 started. A good chunk of them must have rode the practice days and decided not to bother. Some may have had mechanicals but anyone I spoke to pulled out because they weren't up for it, rather than being forced out.

I suppose in E1 there'd be some serious folks who were out of contention after a day and just didn't want to keep racing and taking risks for nothing. And people that limped to the end of the stages, etc. In E2 I think there were quite a few just caught out by the sheer difficulty

(yeah I know we've been over this... But at innerleithen, what we tend to get is race stages that are challenging, but most decent riders can at least get down them slowly, and they're just very hard to ride fast. And no doubt other folks thought Glentress = Mincing. Peaty did!)

It's a bloody shame there couldn't be a last minute subs list though. But otoh shrinkage helps race organisers- day 1 ran right to the last minute, if there'd been another 20 people to get through stage 4 some of them would have missed the final cutoff.

Oh... But I think there was another thing, which is that it ended up being a 5 day event and there wasn't much warning of that, so there were tons of people who couldn't practice, others who'd basically planned for a sunday race instead of 2 days racing, etc. Life stops play. I took the week off to do other Tweedlove stuff and dig stages and that, so it worked out.

What a fantastic weekend.

Goals were:
Finish.
Finish alive.
Don't come last.

Goals all achieved. Result!

I'm not sure if they read this but we met the nicest family when we finished day 1. Their kid was asking us all for signatures when we clocked in and then they gave us the rest of their chips.

Wysiwyg - any photos of 461 at all? Neon Yellow bike

Thanks to you all!

nah 80 out of 300 is very unusual Id say that less than 5% would pull out of a tough UKGE like Ae or Inners

A couple of the guys we saw on thursday practice pulled out,I think they were really struggling with the climbs, even though they were better on the downs than me

and getting to the top of a full on super steep techy descent when your already shagged is quite scary

some people just decided that the risk wasnt worth it, I suppose that if your priority is job, family etc and you reckon theres a high risk of injury then I can kind of see why, even the organisers admitted this was the techiest round theyd run so far

still its a big shame considering that the event was so over-subscribed and the runs had dried out a fair bit by saturday and were actually quite grippy on sunday for teh GT trails

ps, wysiwig any other pics of 164
pps who do i get into burlesque photography 😉

Look like a great event.

There was a segment on the new BBC Scotland programme which was shown tonight -

What a joke that BBC program was, "We're here at the country's biggest cycling event, but let's not talk about that, let's do a photography feature. Oh there's a world series race? Who cares." Bag o shite.

That's the BBC for you, it's not like it's funded by us or anything.

Awesome weekend, the trails were tough & it was hard work but loved most of it, there were a few 'dark' moments on the climbs but hey.

Goals were to finish and not come last, achieved both of those so pretty happy...

No worries, I guess that's the price you pay for being lazy and pushing up the climbs.

Great shots, I'm sure all the guys in the various marketing depts for clothing companies will be chuffed looking at all the pics where everyone is wearing Enduro colorways... 😉

Anyone know what happened to Scott Laughland? Looks like he completed stage 1 in decent order then dropped out.

(I like it when he does well at things, we get announcements in our office news like "Student receives funding award" "New carbon capture scheme approved" "Graduate rides bike like a mofo")

Scotty broke his collarbone on stage one, his dad was in the same start group as me.

Any update on the guy that got helicoptered off the hill on Saturday. I saw him getting put on the spineboard at the feed station. He was conscious and moving his legs so hopefully he's ok.

According to what I heard from one of the tweed valley mountain rescue guys on Sunday, I believe he walked out of hospital on Saturday evening - severe bruising only, lucky guy!

I don't know what happened to the guy that came off head first into a tree about 100 yards from the end of stage 8 on Sunday, he did not make pretty noises, nor look healthy. When he was stretchered off, he was moving his hands and feet though.

Wysiwyg - I don't think Angie will mind. If you've got several of her just post a couple of choice pics. I guess the Berghaus kit will be good since she works for them.

Several.. I can't find any. Hence the request for what she's wearing? What bike and lid?

Ah, right. Purple Orange Five with white fox forks. Red and blue Berghaus top. White and pink fox flux lid, googles. Blonde hair.

It felt a bit like most of the photographers buggered off home after the pros tbh. Which is daft, you'd think, it's us knobbers that buy photos 😆 I suppose folks hope to get the one brilliant pro shot that sells for a packet.

(I never get good crash photos. when I see someone crashing I instinctively stop taking pics to mkae sure they're ok. I need to be a bit more heartless sometimes 😈 )

Hi wysiwg,

I know I'm late to the party but only stumbled across this forum today. Any chance you've any pictures of rider 520? Luminous green MADMTB jersey, Irish flags on the shoulders, green and black Bluegrass Full Face Lid in Innerleithen, Fox Flux open face lid in Glentress and on a black and red Devinci.

Much appreciated if you could check and post if you have any, will send you a few bob for hi-res if you have any of me

Conor
