The weather for the few days before doesn’t look great either, so those dry dusty trails we were hoping for may not be quite so dry and dusty.

Take a look here: https://www.alananna.co.uk/blog/2010/dyfi-enduro-pre-ride-2010/ to see our pre-ride from last week (the post that your are currently reading is actually about the 2009 Dyfi Enduro). There’s rumour of a new descent this year that could create carnage!

Well, we did most of the route yesterday [session log here]. It was pretty dry and a perfect day for it and I feel fine this morning. Some of the climbs are quite long and one of them was pretty steep and rocky too. The descents are well worth it though, although it may be a bit manic on the day with hundreds of other people on them as well.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

I could certainly do with being a bit fitter and faster but the plan is just to get around and enjpy it.

Did Pendam Thursday, Summit Friday, Conti Sunday.

Reading threads on STW is making me brick it regarding the descents and the climbs sound much worse than the Legburner by some accounts. Might go for an on-foot recce one evening this week to see what it’s all about.
