Looks like it was a bit muddy today. Just having a quick beer at stage then heading back to tent - see you at briefing 8:45? I’ll be on a red/blue levo

It’s Scotland not Surrey ???

Trying to pair my App at the start of the event - seems @Doomanic was right. To be fair plenty of other bike brands there.

What was the route ?

Not sure if this helps but here’s the map I was given.

Was a good day actually. I really liked the timed uphill sections, adds a new challenge to an event.

Excellent event well worth the trip up there. Details of routes on my Strava - note we went a bit off the main route Follow Martin on Strava to see this activity. Join for free.

"Was a good day actually. I really liked the timed uphill sections, adds a new challenge to an event."

Actually timed hill climbs were a part of the program at early mtb events including the first world championships held in Durango, CO. back in 1990. Of note is the fact that one of your countrymen name of Tim Gould won the hill climb portion that year.


Especially noteworthy is the last item I feel!

Really makes alot of sense to do hill climb features with eBikes as that is a large part of their appeal and why not make use of that fact with some friendly competition?

The first ever Tweedlove Enduro had 2 timed climbs in it.
