Did the Are You Tough Enough 6hr XC today. About 29C, bonked after 2 hours, then had to HTFU for 4 - agony. 5l electolyte in - nothing out the other end. 18th. The answer to the question - not really!

Absolutely love my Soul - use it more than other higher spec mtb. Needs carbon post for comfort.

Soul near where it was made. This place had fewer and smaller rocks than 80% of the rest of the route.

Just put a deposit on one of these frames.
Lovely bike. I really wanted one but when I test rode it I realised a few things
a) it's too much bike for me
b) it's quite short in the top tube
c) the rear suspension was too active for what I wanted it for.It's has rave reviews for the most part - are you getting a raw frame - so practical!
What wheelsize - think it has the option to run 650b? Fantastic video on their site about the descent of some mountain on one.

Just back from popping my XC competition cherry. Head said long steady training ride, heart said Gorrick. Heart won, head went into full retreat with an entry for the 7lap (nuts)
There's nothing like first time nerves to make you feel alive! Round the first bit of the course - how nice there's lots of singletrack. End of first lap (10m later) fuck me what have I done this is not right. Total inability to not race, only have to hear a chain slap or see a rider ahead and the pain cave is accessed. Now I understand why my Flux handles like it does. On the second lap it all comes together but towards middle of 3rd I start to cramp, tiredness starts to affect line, trees get brushed and an injury is very likely so I bail at the end putting in 3 laps before being sensible/wimping out.
Where next!
That'll be because it'll change with each shipment.
