TREK 6-4-2 ENDURO SHERWOOD PINES RACE REPORT

On getting up race morning any hope of dry trails soon disappeared, the previous weeks sunshine now just a memory, It was overcast and periodically raining.

Not allowing that to put anyone off, a strong field of riders head out onto the trails around sherwood pines. Competing in a 6, 4 or 2 hour enduro the total number of rider was around 200. Starts were staggered so that all races finished at a similar time. With a cut off of 4pm after which no more laps could be started.

Although Sherwood pines is said to be flat, don't let that fool you into thinking that it was an easy course, the false flats and dragging climbs providing few rest bites and demanding continuous pedaling. Although it lacked the technical descents of some courses the fast and flowing twisty sections of singletrack posed it own challenges. Not least trying to maintian grip through the corners.

Each category was highly competitive as the riders worked through the ever worsening trail and weather conditions, all in search of a podium position.

I competed in the 4 hour race, and while I did not reach the podium I managed a creditable 18th out of 71 riders, completing 6 laps of the 9.5 mile course.  A pleasing result in my first race of the season.

Overall a really good days riding.
