Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

That's pretty clever. Thinking outside the box. Landing outside the box.

More from the same dude... I'll just manual along this cliff at 60kph...

Course preview looks pretty full on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq0v4kAmxlY

Looks really good fun...when flattened out by a go-pro...

Yeah, on screen it looks fine. There's even minor features in there that I probably wouldn't clear, like the rock garden in the beginning. The doubles on the grassy bit and the huge drop at the end ... No thanks.

All of this with no knee pads, no full face, nada.

The gap at the end looks spicy, for sure

In other (hopefully less gnarly) news, I'm off up to The Golfie at the weekend.

Has it been cleared up since the storms?

I've seen that before, it's basically a camera trick. 1st person view:

Still utterly mental, but not the vertical wall that it appears to be.

Trailforks suggests mixed bag? I think some have been cleared.
I'm basically at the "climb into my mate's van and get driven there" level of planning.

People are changing tyres to mud-spikes for this weekends Southern Enduro race and then posting about it on Instagram. I am going to ignore this defeatism.

which venue?

Milland

Forecast isn't bad so I wouldn't worry

Want nothing to do with ridge lines or ledges like that... did one at the Col du Cou near Morzine which even in 8-year hindsight was type-3 fun. Riding on a narrow footpath where one side was a trip to hospital and the other the cemetery; not my idea of fun at all.

Anyone out there fancy a pimp XC bike or frameset? In ML (18.5) I'm skint so considering selling my supercaliber.

I dunno.... I think the RRP is about £8.5k....

Id want £2k ish for frame and shock i reckon

No Tom and no Mathieu? Boooo

Yeah, but the women's racing is better anyway

yup

I was semi-kidding, I am out-biked with a hardtail XC already :)

Yeah, i figured as much. I can sell you some very nice XXX wheels to go with that hardtail though...
