Well, had a ball at the Selkirk Merida today. Opting for the big girls blouse 75k I loved the mud-fest descents. Reckon I pretty much destroyed a set of pads...
Glad you enjoyed it, I only had one mechanical (puncture near the end) so was quite lucky that way. Some poor bloke went over the bars in front of me and broke...
They are very good forks, nice and light but not to much flex for QR forks. What type of bike do you have, can it take more than 100mm travel? Might be worth...

... Hi Dave I have a 2006 Trek 6500 which came with Axel elite 80mm forks. They are currently doing 100mm forks on the current model. Not sure I'd like to push...

I was just under the 7 hour mark (6hrs 58 mins) , I think Nick did it in about 5 hrs 40 mins. Pretty sure we are both doing the 100k down at Penrith but I will...
Probably manage the Pentlands as without lights anything under cover can get tricky quickly... or is that quickly tricky? ... Read this topic online here: ...
Dave, based on the time I did for the 75k I reckon my time for the 100k at Selkirk would have been just over 7hours so our pace must be pretty similar. Nick,...
It was more like 5hr 47 actually. I seemed to be struggling somewhat after a virus a couple of weeks back, but Penrith should be quicker. Its a shorter course,...
