DirtBag Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 looked very cool. Just not so sure about the 5km of portage on day 2! Hi Guys!!I just noticed all these cool comments about the Lord of the Chain Rings event. Thanks!!I see the only concern is about the portage section on day 2. Well, our scout-master dr. Fick'n'Evil has just come back from a very successful scouting weekend in Hogsback, and has managed to find a AWESOME new loop to replace most of day 2's riding. Not that we say day 2 was too difficult. We just listened to our riders, and we are going to bypass the portage of stage 2 until we can get a proper ridable trail built over the mountain. But, as I say...... our scout master found an amazing mountain called Lowestoffe Mountain, which is 99% ridable!! And takes you to 1640m above sea level!! LotCR 2011 is going to be even better than 2010!

I have read only good things about it (missed it on SS though ) and have great memories of Hogsback from time spent there whilst I was at school. Never on an MTB sadly, but I can only imagine how good it will be. I would imagine it would rival/be similar to the 3 Towers at Mankele, which is - for me at least - the current benchmark.
