Topic Title

Thought that I would crack this one open after last nights discussions on Emila's leaving do. I am looking to do a bit of different stuff next year but some of the possibles are -

Fred Whitton
Trans Wales
Mountain Mayhem
10 under the...
Kielder 100 - already in!!
Clifton challenge rides etc

Anyone have any ideas for something new/different?? Any enduros/marathons that perhaps I have not heard of??

Hi Allan,

Gravity Enduros
Clifton Challenge rides

For me this year

Simon

Allan, your list is our list from the last couple of years (apart from the Kielder!) we do need something new. I'll have a look around..

Hey Simon
You thinking of doing this

Hi Ros,

No plans this year for the Birkebeiner.

May be next year

Single speed UK is in a northern forest this year, a good excuse for more bike kit and lots of beer?

could 10 under the ben be described as hardtail friendly?

Andy,

I haven't done 10 Under the Ben but ridden the trails they use.

You'll be fine on a hard tail. Endurance events like this usually have terrain that isn't too technical as the organisers don't want to be scraping tired riders who crash off the course all day/night. The Challenge last year was the weather so it became quite muddy.

I've done 10 under the Ben for the last 4 years & it you'd be fine doing it on a Hardtail. The weather was the worst its ever been though so this year me & Sarah are going to do 10 @ Kirroughtree & 10 @ LLANDEGLA instead.

ah great stuff cheers!
might have to give it a bash then!
