Look out for those crazy looking bars in part two of grinduro, .

[Moder-dye]

They were a bit wild and wacky

That link above is a watch now one now

Enjoyed that looks like an great format with only 30 minutes of competition in a longer ride.
Previously I’d thought grinduro might be something entirely different

[Moder-dye]

Yeh certainly comes across as a fun day out.

It was a fun event, a nice mix of against the clock racing, and just riding along. The scenery wasn't bad either (I may be biased)
I even came away with a prize...second place in my age cat...although it was only out of two , and think I only just scraped that :) It looks like the over 60's don't do "gravel" yet.

Funny seeing familiar faces on TV; I used to play bike polo with Agata (2nd in the ladies' race), and Chris Metcalfe is part of my extended in-laws.

[Moder-dye]

Haha! Well done Yeh maybe the older I get the more I might want to race something as I might actually place by age group!

I might need to be reeeeally old though. I don't do racing as I already know I'm slow as F without it being demonstrated

The super wide bars were on one of the hand built bike show bikes - a novelty piece from Dear Susan (http://www.dearsusan.co.uk). He brought the massive 'clown bike' on his home page too, and a mate of his who hadn't forgotten his forks (??) rode it. He couldn't manage the technical stuff with the massive wheel base and high centre of gravity - he was proper knackered by the end

Will be on Arran next month and hoping to take the CX with me. Does anyone have a GPX file of the route please? Is it likely to still be rideable late December?

Can't watch the programme as no TV licence

[johnnystorm]

Gravel bikes have no suspension whatsoever...

As fella rides past on a bouncy Diverge!

[crewlie]

If you pm me your email I'll send the GPX over.

Should still be ridable, but some of the non gravel tracks will have a few slightly soggy (maybe very soggy) bits, but we ride them year round.
If you do Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/547388942270039/ will get you up to date info...or drop me a line

Thanks I think Boxelder is sending me the GPX, I may be in touch with questions, cheers
