As it happens I'm away to Kielder this weekend to try out the Deadwater Trail. If the weather's reasonable I'm planning on camping out and making a weekend of it, try out a few of the other routes in the area.
I'm just having a look at the Kielder Marathon Series now and it looks promising although I'm not sure at the moment whether I'll be able to make the July round because of other commitments; October should be fine though, I just need to find my cheque book.
Regards,
Ben.

It's Ian from work. I've been told you want to speak to me. I'm on night shift this week, you should have my mobile number, if not you can get it off Corrine in reception, don't want to put it on this website in case some nutter gets a hold of it.
Regards
Ian

- Great result Ray, glad you enjoyed it. Was it on the new course they have built for the XC champs?
I was going to be leading the Hamsterley ride, but I've just realised it clashes with the jumping for Dummies day so I've asked if someone else can lead this one, and I'll do one of the ones later in the year.

- HI Ray, I was never planning to do them - when you set up an event it adds you as attending automatically and I'd forgotten to change it on those ones. Not really my scene racing - to fat & unfit, It's alright for you whippets but hauling 18 stone and a 35lbish bike around a race would kill me!

- Yes I got on pretty well. I was reckoning on completeing in 3hrs (average 10mph) but it took me 5hrs 8mins. My legs still felt pretty strong at the end though, I rode all the way up that last nasty fire road climb. My Camelbak was almost empty though and I'd run out of food. I've no idea what place I finished in, but we started about mid pack so I doubt it was very high although I reckon alot of riders didn't complete the full distance. I was disappointed I didn't have chunkier tyres on. I thought with it being a trail centre it would be dry with good grip. The rock they use on the trails was very slippy. I used Continental Speed Kings at Conti's recommended pressure of 50psi. After my first hard fall I was very wary on the singletrack. On the second lap I fell hard again and decided to let some air out of the tyres. This gave me some confidence back but I wished I'd had my Panaracer Cinder's on.
