For the likes of El Cap and co.

I would like to offer an XTC of mine to be raced around the FTD trail to see what sort of time a decent rider could do on the thing.

Would anyone be interested?

I'd give it a go, if I could get up there. I aint too slow.

I'd happily do it. But sadly it wouldn't work, as you're 15 minutes faster than me!

honestly, they wont be able to do it any faster than on an xtc like mine or el caps. its really not that much difference over such a short track.

<center>Killing? No. No satisfaction. Everything up until the killing, will be a gas.</center>

Besides which, if you hammer round like your hair's on fire it's no fun. Just hurts.

TBH, it's not that easy doing stuff like this on someone elses bike. My XTC is set up for my riding style (as Alex found out on Saturday), whereas your XTC, although probably lighter, is set up for you. I also use a Rapid Rise mech with Sram Shifters, and have all sorts of problems using anything else.

I'd be more interested to do it on my XTC and see what the time was....[;)]

nah if you've got some bike skills you can go fast on any bike.

I'd offer to thrash your xtc down a hill, might not be the quickest back to the top though.

Hmm, I'm starting to get an idea here - 4um Time Trial!

For those of you who are yet to convert to the Dark Side...a Time Trial, is an individual race, against the clock over a set distance - as in the Follow the Dog Trail. Riders start at minute intervals and try to catch the person in front of them, without being caught themselves.

Need someone with a stopwatch to clock everyone in and out, someone to administer Cake, and definately some Eye Candy with a starter flag.

I'd be up for doing it on whytes level. The chase would favour a very light XC oriented short travel FS bike with a very fit rider rather than a high skill rider with average fitness. It's a bit of a slog in other words.

Whytes meanwhile is a slog uphill (whilst being very ridable), but there's enough downhill to enable a good rider to make up the time.

what about thoes of us who are unfit and crap riders? we are disadvantaged everywhere.

ddoogie · June 2007

Well if the unfit ones go first, then it can boost the ego of the fitter riders. I like that.
