Updated: Pauline Ferrand-Prevot Crashes Out of Nove Mesto XCC Short Track Race, Appears to Have Minor Injuries

Bike Check: Matt Lakin's Fully Rigid Stooge Cycles Dirtbomb Enduro Race Bike
@JDFF: You would be very much mistaken. Short steep punchy climbs in the South and a bit of everything here in Scotland. 30km local blast here for me sees around 600m up to 900m vertical. Bottom to top is never that large in elevation gain but hills are frequent and the meters rack up. Forest roads are engineered to take Euro 40 tonne Heavy Good Vehicles (HGV) so gradients on forest roads average out at 10%, everything away from these civil engineered gravel roads like quad track (for re-stocking forest sites), ancient byways, and bridleways will have some very steep gradients. As for the single-track stuff that riders have created, the Scottish EWS a few years back had some of the steepest tracks that the series has seen.

Review: The 2022 Specialized Turbo Levo is the New Benchmark
@Snowsed341: - 100%. More mass plus more runs as riders can get back up the hill for repeat fun. We have been looking at how we adapt current trail design to cater for these forces and additional wear here in Scotland.

The money is from the Borderland Growth Fund which is supporting projects south of the border in England and North of the Border (7stanes/Inners). So yes, unfortunately, the Highlands will not see anything from this..

Video: Matt Jones Returns for a Final Attempt at his Huge 15ft Tree Gap
I want to see the video where he deconstructs the feature, back-fills the awful (and dangerous) burrow pit he dugout to get the dirt, then landscapes it all back. They left an absolute abortion of mess after shooting Frames of Mind.
