off road duathlon + 10k etc

Magna Carter

I'm umming and arring over entering One Step Beyond's (of Outlaw fame) off road duathlon on 5th November in Mansfield, just north of Nottingham... its a 5k run, 20k MTB trail ride and a 3.4k run to finish.... they've a 2k kids run, and  5k and 10k run through the forest the same day for any less adventurous participants....

Anyone else interested?.... would make a cracking pirate day out!

I have done the 10k before

good, fun day, it is in Sherwood Pines, which is a great place. Mansfield is awful.... (having said that, my inlaws live there!)

looking forward to getting very muddy! 

IrOn Little Sister

Bring on the mud!

Well I was at Sherwood Pines a week ago and the trils were dry and fast. We've had very little rain since then and the forecast is for it to be dry, but cold this weekend! So I've either just jinxed it of it's going to be a nice fast race on the MTB!!

Sounds good.... I may need to dig out my old, but light, mtb with solid front forks if its dry, quick, and not too technical!

IrOn Little Sister

It would appear that they may have changed the bike course, not sure how technical it will be! There's plenty of scope around Sherwood pines!

Well, that was fun... highly recommended if anyone wants to do an off road du at any point....  run with the usual OSB efficiency, fun and laughs...

good to see Lil' Sis too!
