Gorrick 100
4 Replies

I headed over to Swinley Forest near Bracknell for the Gorrick 100 endurance race. The 100 is a vague reference to the number of kilometers for those that complete the full 7 laps. I did 7 laps last…Continue

Bontrager 24/12

At the weekend, I raced the Bontrager 24/12 mountain bike race. I decided I'd have a go at riding  24 hours solo, which was ambitious/admirable/stupid (delete as appropriate). My primary aim was just…Continue

Dragon Ride 2011

On Sunday, I headed for Wales and a leisurely day out at the Dragon Ride Gran Fondo. 200km long and I, somewhat ambitiously, was aiming for the gold standard of sub-7 hours (18mph+ average). The day…Continue

"Looks awesome. However, Cervélo don't make the S3 anymore (it was discontinued last year when they brought out the S5), so it seems difficult to believe it's a current QA reject."

UK Cross Country Marathon Championships

Sunday I raced the UK Cross Country Marathon (XCM) Championships up in Selkirk in the Scottish borders. The list of starters had come out a few days before and was a bit of an eye-opener. It was like a ‘who’s who’ of UK mountain biking with a list of elite XC and XCM racers (up to UCI World Cup level), 12 and 24 hour national champions, the last three winners of the Kielder 100 and a certain Dan Fleeman (ex-Cervélo Test Team). The race was held in parallel with the Selkirk round of the Chain…See More

Kielder 100

The Kielder 100 is the UK's only 100 mile mountain bike race, run out of Kielder in Northumberland, just on the border with Scotland. It's only been running for 3 years, and it now appears to be attracting a host of top riders from the UK from World Cup XC riders to top endurance / 24 hour specialists. This was my first attempt and it was to prove a rather brutal introduction...

 

The weather websites had been predicting heavy rain all week and as I got up at 4:30am to the sound…

Trans-Wales

The Trans-Wales is a 7 day mountain bike stage race. Due to bye-laws restricting the racing on bridleways and byways, it's not possible to race in a traditional end-to-end Trans format. Instead, you have a set route to complete and if you finish outside the allotted time, you're given a time penalty (although in reality, the time restrictions aren't particularly challenging). These stages are a combination of linking sections and also taking in some of the finest trails Wales has to offer and… Continue
