Hi
anybody doing this Ruthin MTB Marathon - Hope MTB Marathon Series
I’ve signed for the 50k on the e bike in September in Ruthin north wales
live local and have done most of the route so battery should hold out
but I believe it’s around 2000m climbing so should be interesting
anybody doing it?
cheers

2000m/6500+ ft of climbing ..on a 30mile ride ..are you sure ?.
Seems like a lot for a half marathon ..that being the case the full marathon must be totally brutal ..
Good luck..hope the battery holds out ..

I know bonkers that’s Wales for you
i live local did 38k recently 1300m climbing so yes it’s hilly to say the least
fingers crossed battery holds out eco mode here we come……..
cheers

I couldn't find any details on the site about how much climbing is involved, where did you hear 2000m?

Him
from a blog from when the ride was last on around 5 years ago
i did on a standard bike back in the day when I was Mega fit and far younger it was a killer then

 

[Bummers]

I'm not fit and would be relying on the bike! I did 56km and 4500ft climbing and still had 20% battery left. Hopefully that would be enough.

Awesome! Was the route good? Decent trails/descents?

Excellent to be fair masses of climbing though
