It was great riding with you guys today, well done Lucy! Wish I could make the others but who knows, maybe next year.

 

[Kangr]

Congratulations @lhglaze
Sounds like you guys had a blast. wish i could do some of these

 

[R120]

Great work everyone! Looks like the guy who won the Ebike category was also fastest of the day in all categories?

 

[Doomanic]

Ooohhh! That's not going to go down well at all!

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Great work everyone! Looks like the guy who won the Ebike category was also fastest of the day in all categories?

Yes - he won the entire Enduro! On an entry level Kenevo Comp. Who says you need top spec to win races!?

 

[Tunny]

Today was mega!!

Well done Lucy ??

A little dissapointed with my rank 12th out of 16 but now i have a target for Land of Nod... top 10 ??

Won some Goggles too, Top dolla yo! ??

 

[Doomanic]

@Rob Hancill how did you do?

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

@Rob Hancill how did you do?

I came 10th / 16 racers. These races are so good at highlighting your weaker areas - for me it’s go slow to go fast.... was hitting some tight corners way to hot and screwing up lines.

But all in loads to work on for round 2 ?

Nobody said that......what you need is to be a good rider ?

Tunny, I wouldn't be disappointed at all, I've gone though the stats for the race and some of the riders in front of you have racing history as long as your arm!
Im consoling myself with I finished one position behind James Bonds stunt man ?

Feel a bit better now, cheers ??

James Bonds stunt man ?

Theres some seriously fast ex top level racers from a MX and Supercross background including current pro riders! The last 2 races I've come in last... I was a bit deflated but it gave me more motivation to improve. You'll no doubt have levelled up just from taking part, next race you'll have all that experience and will feel way more confident, which will definitely help ?

 

[nappa]

was the best day, proper fun fun and fun

 

[Vandal]

Well done all, @nappa did you compete on the '40s equipped kenevo some piece of kit that

yeah and that was just me lol

 

[Kangr]

Is it possible to have the picture at the top of this thread with the names over each rider so we know who they are, or at least a listing of names in left to right order. This would be great if you could.

I’ll take this as consolation too, when I saw I’d come in 228th yesterday I was pretty disappointed ?

 

[nappa]

I think they need to change that ebike age group the 19-39 tad unfair. Does not matter to me but some of the guys might have got a podium

 

[Kangr]

Thought you guys all deserve a trophy.

 

[Doomanic]

This is the real reason I hadn't signed up yet as I turn 40 later this month

 

[Kangr]

what are age the categories

 

[Gary]

I think they need to change that ebike age group the 19-39 tad unfair. Does not matter to me but some of the guys might have got a podium

21-39 is the standard age requirement for senior cat in Enduros. (19-39 in some regionals)
I'm shocked you got enough Ebikes to have more than one category at all.
The only Scottish enduro I know of thet included an ebike category got two Ebike entrants.

@Rob Hancill your racing age category changes on the 1st of Jan each year. not on your birthday.
if you turn 40 this year you'd race 40-49 all year.

 

[Doomanic]

I'm a Grand Vet in that case. I wonder how many enter, I could be first and last...

 

[Gary]

17 entrants in the 50+ cat Dom.
2019 Pedalhounds Enduro round 1 at Canada Heights
(60+ total ebikers - Mental!!)


i know you've said you're a little wide but coming FIRST and LAST you'd need to head down in a blistering time jam the finish line gate and all other riders use you as a jump

 

[Paul Mac]

Too be fair all the age categories were very competitive, so going up into the next category don't help, the top riders times were all pretty similar.

 

[R120]

From what I have seen some of the fastest amateur riders are in their 40's

 

[TheBikePilot]

Awesome day. Superbly run event and what amazing weather..I wouldn’t be put off or scared at all if your thinking of entering. It’s a very friendly atmosphere and it isn’t ‘knackering’ and there’s plenty of time for a stop/rest. I certainly wasn’t blowing all day. We had a few guys come round with us from the forum also. Amazing effort @lhglaze I think we were all as chuffed as she was!!

I’m elegible for over 40’s then but I don’t think it makes any difference. I’m really racing my best effort rather than getting too excited about where I’m placed.

I’d like slightly longer runs but I believe other venues have that..

I’ve got the photo but don’t know everyone’s ‘nickname’ on here and don’t want to post real names now that we are all GDPR etc
