The days of riding mountain stage races seem like a different world. One which we will hopefully be back to by the summer. Hope to bump into you at one of them, or more likely a Gorrick.

Luckily I brought some spare enduro shoes that made it easier to walk in on those days. After 2020 got cancelled I quite fancy the dolomite route in 2022. Transpyr looks good too. Might catch you at a Gorrick with Russ Jones when they get started again.

Thanks for reading. It’s fun writing this stuff but nice to know that it’s also useful to other racers.

Alex (sandy to us) never pushed me up any of the trails…the bastard!
