Anyone else going?
looking a bit chilly!
(tbh BPW isnt my favourite venue, much prefer a propper loop, but just be nice to do a race, been a while!)
I'll be there!
Not quite so keen on the 1pm - 5pm timed runs slot instead of the usual 10am - 3pm as I'll be heading straight back to Cornwall after but looking forward to it.
Only been to BPW a couple times before but never ridden the trails we're racing so should be fun.
I would have been going but it coincides with a University Open Day for my son.
I wanted to do every WGES & Mini Enduro this year but bolloxed at the first turn. bah!
yeah Oreana, Ill probably have to leave at 4 , so just 1 run at each stage
If id realised that it was finishing late, not sure ide have booked tbh
see u there!
Yeah I'm heading over, prefer the single run on each stage to mashup but should be good, not rode the trails they are running before, looking forward to it. Hope the snow holds off!
Gonna turn up in the morning do a few practice runs before lunch (maybe even sneak in a PAYG uplift or two to save the legs if I can ha!) and then at least a couple of race runs of each I reckon.
Question is...how many layers?!... forecast looks bloody cold!
Yeah looks like its gonna be a snowy one!
How'd everyone get on? Didn't quite go according to plan for me but still had fun. Brrr....It was so cold though!
Well on race day came downstairs to find bike & car keys & car stolen so na race for me,
Not the start to the season I planned, hooiho that insurance will sort out before ukge at inners!
goodwrite up tho
Oh hell! I did wonder why you weren't there.
Balls. And the new Kona gone too 😖
I was going to say my race sucked but sorry to hear that kimbers,some scum about.
Don't know if anyone noticed it was cold?! Dropper froze, pedals were covered in ice, gear cable snapped. Ripped a massive hole in my tyre on stage 3, got down and got it fixed. Tried to put my wheel back on and my chain was frozen! That pretty much was the nail in the coffin!
Nice write up!
Cheers @marksnook.
Fortunately my bike just about held off the cold, though the Reverb was getting progressively slower as was rebound on my fork and shock! Saw a few broken droppers and frozen mechs around so you weren't the only one if that's any consolation!
The marshalls deserve a massive amount of respect for standing out in that for 4 hours!
Oh man imagine #1 Marshall being stood up top of dai hard! It was crazy though queing for 5 minutes let alone being up there that long!
It' all good, hopefully it's warm and dry racing from here on!
