Some of you will remember it. An MTB bike/run/bike challenge that took place 2 years running, the 2nd time with biblical rain. Thinking of possibly organising a similar event depending on levels of interest. As a not-for-profit event for the local community playground. Anyone remember it? What ya think? Shall post on facebook too.
S.M. GriffithAug 22 2018, 9:24pmCoooooooool :) That looks absolutely deadly. (In both senses of the word).
Rachel CinnsealachAug 22 2018, 9:26pmI remember it Mick, I'd be keen anyway. Count me in.
Ann HoranAug 22 2018, 11:07pmLooks great. I’m definitely up for this if my injury is better by your chosen date for event.

When were you thinking of having the event?

What would the mountain biking sections be like? Would they be technical or easy trails?
Mick HanneyAug 23 2018, 8:51amPrevious iteration used a combination of fire-road and single tracks near Ironbridge. Some tracks may not longer exist - overgrown or demolished - so some recces needed and other hills could come into consideration.

No date in mind yet. Just gauging interest levels first.
Niall McGuinnessAug 23 2018, 9:07amThat sounds great Mick. I'd definitely be up for that. Sounds hard! Is it still for groups of two? Do both people complete the whole course?
Paul SmythAug 23 2018, 10:31amDefinitely interested if a solo event.
Paul SmythAug 23 2018, 10:36amMust less interested if the bike route is fixed and isn't mountain biking, i.e. involves much in the way of roads.
Mick HanneyAug 23 2018, 12:16pmI'd be thinking more of a solo event but definitely with mountain bikes for offroady stuff.
Richard LeahyAug 23 2018, 1:38pmcount me in Mick
Paul SmythAug 23 2018, 2:23pmDefinitely interested then, but ultimately it will depend on the date. It's very hard these days to find a date that doesn't clash with something else.
Conor O'FarrellAug 23 2018, 6:14pmSounds great Mick. I would defo be interested in this.
Alan AylingAug 24 2018, 10:43amSounds class Mick, fair play.
Adrian HennessyAug 24 2018, 12:35pmSounds great Mick. There's a definite lack of MTB/hill run events at the moment.
