Who is coming?!

There was a low turnout of only 5 riders for Grassington, the weather was rubbish so you all made a wise choice! It would be good to get a whole group together for this one though, and make a proper weekend of it.

----------
Sunday 1st August

The fourth round of the Chain Reaction Cycles MTB Marathon will take us to Selkirk (Scottish Borders), offers four different courses so that everyone can choose the most suitable riding distances. The event features the marathon typical mass start at 10.00am on Sunday morning.

Afraid I won't be doing this one - family get together.....

The weather at Grassington was horrendous, however I felt it was my most enjoyable ride of the year. It was like my bike and I were in perfect sync.

OK I did opt for the middle marathon, as I noticed the two extra steep hills on the full marathon.

I plan to do Ruthin in September.

Hi Steph,

I don't know if I'm too late to reply to this, if I'm not and I'd it would be ok I'd love to tag along and have a bash at one of the easier routes.
