I thought as we are riding a trail centre with a dozen or so good sections I might test out the Matesrace enduro type self creation site. It works with Strava pulling through selected sections and shares your profile settings so you can set up or enter an event by your strava club. So for a test and a bit of a laugh I've set up an event that anybody that fancies it can enter, if you have any device or mobile that you can track via strava on the day your times over 5 chosen sections will be recorded and totalled. Its hopefully a bit fairer than a real enduro as it may not count stoppages for mechanicals, well have to see. If you fancy it just enter below, if you cant be arsed with the hassle or bother using strava or don't want to feel the race pressure then fair dos don't bother. Ill just be going my usual pace but interested to see how it stacks up. www.matesrace.co.uk/event/5061You may need to join the forum strava club, MTB-UK For those that aren't familiar with the sections myself or one of the other frequent visitors will be able to point out the section before we start it and advise of the start and likely finish point. These are all standard strava segments on the waymarked trail, I haven't gone for any off piste sections. or am I acting as official event organiser or guide (legals taken care of). Iv signed into this! Prize for slowest rider? |

Thanks that makes two of us LOL. Im more interested to see how it works.
One tip is not to go to close to the start of a section if you don't intend to crack on through it as it will start the segment time, I keep messing up with this as I double check the landing area from the drop off that's been added at the very start of the hully Gully, last time I was near it for a while checking if a lad that had crashed just going off it before me was okay or not, so I ended up double the usual time for the section and it would have been my quickest ever time at least 10 seconds quicker than Gaz (windy) honest.
I might be heading there tomorrow or Friday for a recce.

Just been for a quick lafterwork lap and the trails are in good condition considering all the rain we've had recently.
The trail fairies have cut channels to drain the worst of the water splashes on Hully Gully so managed to make it round with dry feet!
What time are you going on Friday John?
