tbh its not looking likely I'll be doing them now tho
[url= http://www.broughtoncastlesportive.co.uk/ ]This sportive near Banbury[/url] looks like a pleasant spin out and not too far from home for me. That's about it as I am very time poor at the moment. Daughter weekends, festivals and holidays are all eating into bike time.
I've entered my 1st event in about 15 years.
It's called 'Watching the Hamsterley Beast while my son rides round'.
Soloing the Glentress 7 again but I don't have an XC bike any more so will be a bit slower than last, on the fatbike 😆 And the Scottish Enduro Series Dunoon (never ridden down there, and there's a botanical garden and a ferry trip, win!), and No Fuss Kinlochleven enduro (because they're always so damn good- will be nice if I can avoid trashing my bike this year...)
Think that's it! Much less this year, I overdid it a bit last.
Enduro2 in Les Arcs at the back end of June.
I'm part of a pair on the Glentress 7. First proper event I've entered so hoping it's a good laugh.
It's really good somouk- can be a fair amount of hanging around, in a pair but the routes have always been fun and the atmosphere's great. I'd sworn off this sort of thing after having basically zero fun at 10 Under the Ben but I did the first GT7 purely because we got free entries, and it was mint. Been back every year since, trio and pair and solo.
I'll be easy to spot on a bright yellow fatbike so if you see me, say hi 😆
I'm doing the Hamsterley TT tomorrow (17th), a downhill at Eastgate over Durham way in August I think and another Hamsterley TT towards the end of the year (can't remember exactly when, October-ish I think) on different trails to the first one 😀
Devon Dirt tomorrow - 400+ riders, weather looking good....!
HOTS...
That is all
Le petit depart sportive in June.
Hamsterley Beast in May
Kielder 101 in Sept
About all I can fit in this year. Bad timing mostly, and the North Pennines MTB marathon/Garrigill Grinder sadly cancelled.
Edit: + Ride to the Sun on the "road" bike
Doing a local 100k audax on May 2nd - first event I've entered of the year.
5 months in. I had such great plans as well....
PMBA Rd. 2 tomorrow.
IOM 2 day Enduro in July
Ard Rock
Just need to get a couple events sorted for later on in the year and I'll be happy. New category this year, Masters. I have a sneaky feeling it's just as stacked as the Seniors so no0 hope of better results. 😐
I'm doing the Mini Enduro at FoD next weekend and the Batch Burner on 11th June. I was looking at the Root n Rain calender yesterday and might have a go at the following if things pan out, unfortunately living where I do everythings a pretty big drive!
Cannock Summer Classic
Redkite The Devils Challenge
MaD Enduro 3 Ebworth Park
Welsh Gravity Enduro Eastridge
