Hi andy. know exactly what you mean with the wife. I was in the same position as you this year when i done mountain mayhem, wiggle 6, and lots more xc races. The secret is bring her along. Tell her you cant do it without her support she is part of y…
I put together a draft training schedule, showed it to the Mrs and her comment was: you'll be getting divorced around mid july as I'll never see you.
Hmm, bit of arm twisting (flowers) and persuasion (chocolates) needed here.
Cheers Chris,Ill get it sorted as soon as,thank buddy.
Hi mark, you'd better think about putting your entry in soon, as it was up to 175 when one of the lads i ride with put his entry in at the weekend. Team MTBNE sounds cool.
I'll not make the mistake this year of setting off with the leaders from the…
I just read the article on this race published in Ocober's Singletrack mag......and I'm still not going to do it!
Dave Im disappointed,lol.
100 miles in one go??? That's like a whole year's riding in a day. To quote the great ice cream gangster......I'm out!

wouldn,t you think after all the trouble of setting up the stunt he would of put in a couple of somersaults and entered the water in the pike position the wuss
Thanks chris, im looking forward to doing the training,might see you out and about,one thing i probably wouldn,t of thought of is taking oil. What time did you do, i seem to remember the guy who won it done it in just over 8hrs
Hi John, i did this and i have to say its the toughest thing i've ever done.
I get out every week riding up in the hills for between 3-5 hrs covering 20-35 miles depending on how severe the terrain is.
So prior to the race i upped my mileage to 80 m…
Thinking about doing the kielder 100 next year, anyone done it that can give me a little insight into how tough,route and training.
