Thor Buttox Posted February 1, 2018 Share Bear Grylls style?On occasion, as I have lain upside down in a bush, blood oozing from my tender buttox while peddling furiously to release my cleats, I have thought 'What I would give to be Bear Grylls on a raft right now'.

Dicky DQ Posted February 5, 2018 Share i have and you are going to **** bricks big ones.Why, it is MTB, you either go up or down and if you have been training the up will be fine and the down... Well, looking at the dirt roadie skill levels I see these days, that could be a challenge, but it should not be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky4130 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Well for starters it's one massive climb, long & steep in the corners with tight switchbacks, towards the middle to end. Then it's stage 4 or 5 where fatigue has already set in, it's going to hurt whether you trained for it or not.

Headshot Posted February 5, 2018 Share   Just make sure you don't miss the technical terrain. I think the only way you will know you're there is when you see the Landrover parked nearby. Certainly could not be because its actually technical.... Rapunzel and DieSwartGevaar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milky4130 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Thanks man, what do you guys think about the TT, concerned, or not really?if you're racing it, it's going to hurt so yes be concerned, if you just going to have a Jol & finish within an hour or 2 from cut off it should be breeze. That's just me it could be totally different for the next person. I would encourage you to ride it if possible before the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
