Just completed the first in a series of Enduro events held throughout the UK. The first stage was at a VERY wet Ae and saw the seeding on the slippy downhill stage on the Saturday. Most folks entered on a 5/6″ travel bike although I saw some on 8″ downhill bikes, xc and even a single speed jump bike.
I had various mishaps at every stage – Stage 1 – missed my start by 4 minutes as was sheltering form the rain. Stage 2 – punctured and rode section with a flat rear. Stage 3 – adjustable seat post jammed 10 seconds before the start. Stage 5 – seat snapped off the rails and had to ride slippy forrest section with the rails digging into inner thigh.
All that said it was great fun and I came around 85th overall. Looking forward to Inners already…..
