Mini Enduro by One Industries: The Athertons do grass roots racing!

Big Fish Well I have to admit the apprehension and excitement was growing in me when I arrived at Dan Brown’s residence (Atherton team manager) bang on 4pm on the Saturday before this, a one off, season opening, single day, mini Enduro race, held a mere three hours drive from Shropshire at Haldon Forest, Exeter. I knew it would be a great test and benchmark for mine and everyone else’s fitness, to see if we’d done enough over the cold damp winter months to prove ourselves race ready for 2013. The fact I was travelling down there with Dan and Gee (I have to admit) made things more exciting, as although we’ve all known each other for years, I had never experienced a weekend with the team. On arrival at Dan’s, as expected he informed me the boys were running late, no surprise there, as Atherton time is not like that of most of us! There was no Rach, as she was at some British Cycling awards do, but having two of the three at such a small local venue is normally totally unheard of, no wonder race organiser Chris Roberts was getting the tweets and FB status’s out there at a fair rate of knots to promote their presence! We set off, the weather looks shit for all that’s left of Saturday and Sunday and Gee informed me how this (in all his years of racing) was the first time ever he’s done a non DH race on a mountain bike!

Episode 4: Ridge Rides Right outside of the town of Bariloche is some of the sweetest ribbons of singletrack any of us had ever experienced. Not only that, but directly in town is a top quality shuttle zone that had us saying “one more run” over and over.
