    I've never done a timed run for just the FTD section but I reckon a decent time would be <45mins.

    He ain't gonna get round the full circuit in 53 mins unless he wears his undercrackers on the outside and is allergic to kryptonite :)

    i was thinking that, but did not want to put him down too much, esp being as the latter parts of ftd are "closed"

    I think around 45 minutes is the average, some riders clock around the 30 minute mark though. I can do it in just under an hour if I don't take too many breaks.

    We did it in 45 mins yesterday with a flapjack stop half way round after doing the FTD & Monkey Trail first, we were also held up by a fair bit of traffic (father and young daughter on Shockwave £50 specials deserve a mention), it seemed very busy yesterday although it was the first time I've been. is it always packed out at weekends?

    There was some kind of running/cycling event on Saturday, and Sun-day is always rammed. Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon nights are the best time to go.

    Visitors are easy to spot they wear black Endura everything and ride Boardmans or Giants :)

    It's always miles busier on the weekend, but will be quieter after about 2/3pm and quieter if the weather's a bit iffy. Go on a weekday though and the place is pretty much deserted!

    My buddy at work recons he managed to do the full FTD and Monkey trail loop in 1h15.....

    ...this included a bog stop and 2 fettle stops...

    ...and he is riding a tiny 4x bike with a single front ring and a 9xroad block and flat pedels.

    Now, I will be the first to admit he is proper quick on the downs and he has some power in his legs but c'mon that time isn't possible is it?

    1hr 15? God he must fly.

    Probably possible but with traffic and stops I would be very suprised.
