MTB is a confidence game
haha so much this. I don't consider my self totally shit hot or anything, maybe a baw hair above average. I've been riding the trails at inners since I was a teenager, know them very well... but as soon as the pressure of a stop watch is there I fall apart and hug the first tree I see. Not that keen to pay money just to see DNF next to my name.
I'll give you a bell when I organise the Aberfoyle Bongs n Pies fun ride.

The dates for Dukes never match up for me but I would actually like to see how I stack up on the gravel bike roster in Aberfoyle, it more my jam performance wise. MTB is a confidence game and I take a long time to build it up. Not paying £25 to climb a hill on a separate day though.
(Doing Gralloch and Dirty Reiver this year but will probably never MTB race again)
