I hear they're also headed through Llandegla for those that like a trail centre...?! I don't usually have to pay £1,300 for that pleasure.
Good - great trails, good mixture of XC/Trail, beers
Bad - 20% of the field getting the shits due to bad water sources and eating dinner in a cow shed.
Still, memories none the less.
Makes it sound like a freestyle competition. What's the provenance behind the name?
