Thought I would ask if any other PH's are doing the 4hr Enduro at Queen Elizabeth Country Park tonight, its my first proper event/race and to be honest I thought it was more of a 'trail ride' than a full on race before I entered - so getting a bit nervous about it now

It is also the launch of the new Red Trail at QECP too

Was tempted but didn't think my lights would last long enough, but it stats light so late now I probably would have been alright.

Did my first race the other week at Swinley and it was great fun even for novices - just remember to take plenty of water as races don't to have drink/food stations!

Will be heading down over the next few weeks to ride the new red trail.

Are there actually decent trails there then?

That's what made me realise it was a proper race as I emailed the organiser to ask if there were any water stations!!

I've ridden the new red trail a few times now, it is much better that it used to be

Only the red trail really, it is approx 5 miles long - but I do believe there are a lot of unmarked trails but I don't know any of them
