Glentress red in 53mins.

So that’s my target set down by Andy (National Scottish XC Champ) of dirt school fame.
He completed the 19Km without pause from the Hub and back in 53mins. :shock:

Now I consider myself pretty fit. I race XC and done a few marathons in my time but this pace just seems beyond all possibility in fact I’m going to aim for 60mins which I also don’t think would be possible but certainly more achievable.
Having met Andy before I know he’s no fibber and certainly extremely quick but 53mins!! I’m going back to Glentress in a matter of days now and I know I will only really have one shot at it when my legs are fresh.

Anyone else think they could do this I really need a pacemaker.

Oh by the way I’m taking my sub 19lb race bike he was on a Trek Remedy. :shock:

    I think it's just about possible I could get to the buzzard's nest and back down in that time :lol: Did he do the long red or via pie run?
