Hi David... I only started doing them last year and did the Mawddach Goldrush, Dyfi Enduro and Sleepless in the Saddle. Some of the others I'm thinking about are these: MTB Race Calendar 2010 Although the Isle of Man End2 End is already fully subscribed which is a shame. I've signed up for the Mawddach Goldrush though which is only a month away so I need to get some training in. I'm not exactly competitive though I just do them for 'fun'.

Haha – yes, I definitely agree with respect to feeling the effects of age.

What MTB races do you do apart from the Dyfi? I’ve mostly decided to not do any more MTB enduros as I’ve not cycled at all since the last one (June, Kington).

Nothing too epic, just a few MTB races… It’s more a case of training to try to negate the effects of getting older, although, the more I do the more I realise that I’m no longer 20 and time has taken its toll!

Perhaps the issue is defining ‘fit’

you can’t be doing too bad to do what you do – your exercise is a lot more varied than mine (running).

Or are you training for some sort of epic event ?
