TREK
2-4-6 ENDURO
~ Bicyclemania
Ride ~
There was
no team orders for the day 'it was every man
for himself'. The two new boys to mountain
bike endures were 'Rammstein & Treehugger'
they were very keen to 'have-a-go' at an
Enduro event. Anyway as it worked out the pair
off them did bloody well, Kidder & Chiefy were
in a laid back mood for this weekends event
... They didn't what to show up the new boys. (Believe that and you'll believe
anything..!)
Exciting Course
Don't believe what other riders say about
Thetford Forest not been challenging enough,
it's was a brilliant course, O.K. so their are
no long hard climbs but the fast twisty
single-tracks make up for that. If your not
flicking form left to right your going up and
down on mini moguls, and there is no time to
sit back due to the speed you are going at.
Start Somewhere
Thetford Forest is an ideal place to start off
your first mountain bike event, if it wasn't
for the new riders coming into the sport it
would of died a death some time ago. The two
new boys to the game enjoyed the challenge and
are now hooked on more events. All the
trailfinders had a slight 'miss-hap' in one
form or another. 'That's mountain
biking'
