Joe Barnes Bites Part 3: A Second's a Second - Video
 | I have always loved this trail and started up a timing challenge on it a few years ago to get set for the summer races. It's got a bit of everything and riding smart is the key to an illusive sub 5.50, managing the juices and not peaking too early. It's always fun heading out timing with the boys and there is nothing finer than a lap of the woods timing the exciting bits. We never got into Strava but stick to the classic Casio timing system. If a new record gets set, word soon spreads. |
Follow Joe's blog for all the action from the years racing and traveling. Part 3 see's Joe head to Laggan with Ferg for some timing on the Black trail.

Would have liked to see them ride down the really technical stuff on the black route. Especially the last rock steps at the end of the black.

I thought you were pies and rice on the strava Joe. Crazy time down the black if it is you.

Of all the UK trail centres, this, IMO, is the only true black. If he rode it in 57 seconds that's mental. I would have liked to watch him coming down The Devil's Chessboard.

The speed they rode that black trail at Laggan was amazing! It's definitely pretty technical.

Unfortunately I agree. A bit too shaky to see just how shreddy Joe Barnes really is...

Casio timing is best and most accurate strava is faulty.
