DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

SAFETY BRIEFING.

  • Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
  • Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
  • Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
  • When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
  • Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
  • Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
  • Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.
  • Don't ride too close to the person in front. If they crash into a badger, you'll need time to swerve.

Fentastic

Big thanks to Adrian for laying on a great event and arranging the sunshine!

Hope the garden survived the post-event apocalypse, aka the BBQ, and Barry behaved himself!

Looking forward to next year's rerun...

Re: Fentastic

yep, i second that.
especialy loved the mass start "special stage" at the end.
think im going to have to do some training before next year

not sure i needed to be told that there were corners on one stage...oh, i guess i did, i do have form when i put my head down and go for it.

Re: Fentastic

I third that...jolly good.
Pat, my strict training consists of plenty of beer, cafe stops, a pronounced stomach, one gear and having the most feeble looking unsymmetrical birds legs.. could this be where your going wrong?
Saying that I don't train anything like as hard as Stafford, Adriano and a few others who were working out(something) until 10.30 or more last night, showing true commitment to becoming elite athletes.

Re: Fentastic

I fourth it (wasn't aware I had a lithp).

Thankth

MT

Re: Fentastic

Slightly belatedly I fifth it.

I would also like to see a results table taking the third stage into account, especially for those of us capable of listening to instructions.

Thanks Adrian.

Re: Fentastic

Glad you all approved. The next FENduro eFENt is in the works so more fun ahead.

Race report and full "research" outputs will be published on the weekend - have managed to figure out the stage 3 data so those will be included.

But who was the best Paul? may have to wait until the xmas dinner for that one!
