Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

LOL! Good idea Gobi. I'll record it in my blog that no one looks at except me and then I can prevaricate about how "I was robbed" and "conditions was hard" etc. etc. :-)

Actually, I'm really pleased now. Loving the XC this year. I'm definitely going better than last year. My mudclaws seem to help (better than road shoes last year!) Tho I noticed most of the better peeps had proper very long spiked xc shoes.

I was on my @rse last year peacey trying to run xc in road shoes! My mudclaws are a bit heavy for racing but gave me plenty of grip. And they suit me for hills and trails too. But if I do a full season of XC next year I may invest in some proper spikes too. Good luck!

Looking at the circuits ill be doing spikes should be ok i think, saying that ill always pack my trail shoes and like G says assess the course on the day.
With spikes yesterday im sure i would been 2-3 mins quicker. Live and learn...

I'd like to say with longer spikes I would have been quicker as well BUT I doubt it
