WOR Events P&P - 17th
Discussion
Did it today. Did not die. Six mile laps.
The course was (in my opinion) competitive, wet, rutted, and muddy. A lot of down, and a lot of up. A lot of single rut through trees, with drops etc. fire tracks for not more than 100 metres to the next section.
In summary, totally out of my depth - and it taught me a thing or two. Including the need to get my fitness up. I was blowing. Today included a stint on the side of the course having a considerable word with myself on how i have got myself into this mess, and to quite frankly sort myself and just get it done.
Staff were fantastic, and really helpful.
Has made me re-think Romania a little as well - will see.
Will be going to get some considerable tuition. Need to rebuild my confidence after today.
Bike and gear is caked - but, not as bad as i thought it would be. Would make a mess of a carpet floor.

You need practice and lots of it. Abram is a great place to practice amd I’ll be back there when it reopens hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

Romania is 10,000 steps too far at this point.
Do I win a free virtual pint for the ruined carpets?
Luckily rented van - so no actual ruined carpets.
But, yes, you can have a virtual pint for proving a point! :-)
Will be on the blower Monday to sort out some lessons over at either Ady Smith's, Yamaha off road, or Mick Extance to get some mid-week training done.
Got Romania booked in already for June. Think i will be moving it.
