Thank you! glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! yeah I had a few people tell me it was pretty gnarly, I was feeling pretty down after the first day because of how beat up i was from it, but the 2nd day was much smoother afterwards and I just wanted that peice of wood more than a 'fast time' haha

next time, full send, right?!

Thank you and to be fair, you were on a Kove Rally! That machine is designed to be pinned across a desert, not pottering through cord country haha. Its also quite a bit heavier than my bike! Next time I'll definitely try and ride faster as In hindsight riding at 70% meant i felt every bump and it was compounding the exhaustion. Gotta learn to skitter across the top like everyone else was.

Thanks Darko! your support when i started helped me massively improve!

haha yeah I remember you saying, i think you said you were the last to get through, and whilst i didn't know it was you going through, I think i saw you get through relatively easily, and decided to follow... terrible idea haha. I think if it was raining a gummy tyre would massively help, all my own errors it wouldn't have mattered what i was running. Next time id like to try a full gummy rather than an hybrid, but i was still very satisfied with the hybrid.

Thanks dude! Cya at the 6hr hopefully!

Thank you!

I had it at pretty much mid settings for my forks and the same soft for my shock. I usually crank it up on my forks to make it harder for sommerville/racing, but softened it a bit for day 1 because i knew greens was gonna be rough, and that felt 'fine'. The second day was like smooth butter though, compared to the first day! I do have a minor upgrade from stock, valve change in the forks and a bladder kit in my shock. And I dont doubt that, haha, gotta get the training in now to prepare for the chaos to come.

Soft. Run your suspension soft to handle the constant chop over the 300km.

BTW you should get into yoga man it would help buffer some of those injuries! :)

Thanks Derian!

YO wathc those tree branches daang that's dangerous i never thought of that being an obstacle.

haha yeah just do a freaking wheelie! You doing the cord?

@@woodlandwugui yes sir, I will see you there!

@@raglanrippers fuck yeah see you there man! what row are you on?

@@woodlandwugui 48 I thinks

You?

haha 50lbs up for you, 5lbs down for me! neither feels good 🤣

I absolutely love this tract, ill def come back again after the cord

I almost managed them! Need to keep the throttle going so my rear gets over properly haha.

You got the hard part down though lol. Glad you fixed your rad

Was kinda gutted we didnt get to the other two, i really enjoy the one that is full of steps going up! but alas it was a learning experience to see what happens when you break a rad!

ahhh thanks so much man, and I'm so glad to hear you finished second!!! FELLOW BRIT EH! we'll slowly, probably, take over OO! haha :D

@@woodlandwugui yeah I was born and raised in Manchester

@@PAYNO561 ahhh a Northerner! Southampton here, total shithole never wanna go back haha. You doing the cord?

@@woodlandwugui yep Manchester also a shit hole lol I’m never going back lol not this year my cyclinder needs re niklesealing and my gear leave shaft is bent from Chloe’s kingdom but next year I will for sure

@@PAYNO561 haha, ive never actually been to Manchester tbf so i'll take your word on that haha. Ah damn, next year it is in that case! maybe see you at the 6hr if i decide to send that this year. That was a blast last year, i'll see if its announced.

NOBODY PAYS ATTENTION TO THE HORN

😶‍🌫

YES HOSS ROCK CLIBBIN'S, ROOT CLIBBINS, ROCK AND ROOT CLIBBINS. GOBBLESS

Thanks man, cya there!

Maybe ill be scared of them now :P I just try to keep my toes in so I don't get backwards foot syndrome, I dont tend to worry about falling on them and this is the first time landing on one so honestly its kind of a fluke. 10 cms either way, id have missed it and maybe would be showing some berries i picked instead hahaa I know that feeling about scratching new goggle lenses too. 🤣 haha thank you, the racing really does help alot when youre surrounded by far faster people.

i think i'll be there the saturday! Im not sure if i'll do both days because ill just have landed back in Canada so jetlag and travel exhaustion could be pretty savage to race with 🤣

repetition is key, as you can tell by how i like to just do the same hill, so many times haha. Look forward to our next training session!

mayybbbeee right on!

straight into my goggleless face haha

@@woodlandwugui Ouch! I know I would have eaten it! I'm sidelined RN. Two weeks ago, I raced Sat, Sun, then practiced Tues, Thurs. Finally felt like I was beginning to ride loose and relaxed again... Sat, doing some work in my garage... shin started to hurt like shin splints.. No idea what triggered it. Hurts if I lift my foot suddenly (upshifting) and probably needs at least one more week of rest. Thinking of riding Walton part deux if the shin is good to go. Always a fun race, even if it's a bit tight for my bars in spots.

@@rondaniels9974 my guess is riding 4 days in one week haha, but hopefully you can recover for the Walton, the trails are really wide in that race there's nothing to worry about! Chloe's will be the one with the bar/tree bumpers!

@@woodlandwugui Chloe's looks like fun, but not on my stock MX'er with air in the tires..

@@rondaniels9974 run tubes for the last 3 races there! Having said that, not an MX bike and my last time i went with MX tyres and that was an extremely terrible choice. haha

haha, I saw Van ripped her footpeg off 🤣

yeah I think its more like a 'normal' hard enduro after watching peoples videos like rustynut and Vanessa's. Its no romaniacs haha. Maybe i'll give it a go next year if i can succeed at the cord!

@@woodlandwuguiAh yes, the Corduroy. What makes the Corduroy hard is its length, unless you’re a “pro” and as such you have to do some extra technical stuff. I did it a few years ago when there were these biblical rains the week leading up to it. It was an absolutely, unbelievably, chaotic spectacle. I did have a lot of fun helping some of the more hopelessly stuck newbs. Unfortunately I timed out and did not get the hallowed finishers nub of wood. I was going to sign up this year but saw they were allowing 700 registrants and decided at 65 I don’t need that piece of wood that bad. I may still do the trail ride on Saturday which utilizes the Sunday course as the tracks are just so much fun. If it’s dry, and dusty bring an extra pre-oiled air filter. Good luck, and may the Force be with you!

@@TheKitchenTechnician Thanks for the tip! and I pray for hero dirt, but kind of expect it to biblically rain for a week prior based on how this seasons rain has gone so far.

@@woodlandwugui oh yes, that rain year a couple years ago.... the gong show at the Somerville start section... oh boy.

That is true, i'll make an effort to visit those places more throughout this season for practice!

Wait they checker flagged you after 61 minutes?! I was watching your videos and whilst it looked extremely difficult, it did make me think the morning looked easier than the afternoon. I also liked how in your video the map tricked me at first thinking the red was hardest, but red is actually fastest haha.

haha, I havnt really improved my deadlift after I hit 182kg. That's 250% my body weight so its by far enough. I just rep140kg now for an easy day without any risks to keep fit.

wish you were there too man!

haha yeah ive dabbled with computers once or twice. It doesn't take long to make a video, less than an hour to cut, voice over, render and upload. And with my job im surrounded by some pretty beefy equipment so that speeds everything up even more. Takes longer to drive across Barrie to the trails at the weekend 😭

Thank you!

Wow surprised to hear of bears at Hendrie!! I didnt expect them to get so close to the cities!! I'm on a Beta 250 rr, bit hard to tell now ive swapped all the graphics out haha.

ahhh haha, i just think of little goats running up n down hills, but it makes sense being a bit of a bowl that it could be a wash basin haha

DO IT

uhhhh its across the road, you come out of the carpark and go up about 1km and on the right you enter into a fireroad trail there, follow it along there are signs until you get to the start. The OFTR map with some gps should let you know you've started the right place! Don't go alone even if you're competent, as you can get stuck in mud real easy when not paying attention

Out of these two? Honestly its hard to say, but i personally wouldn't do millennium without a buddy as there's wayyyy to much to easily get stuck in if you go the wrong way in a puddle. If i was told to pick one, i guess it would be somersville as there is so much in there that i've yet to ride as its just too difficult for my current skillset.

haha you'd have crushed me this day. But long as you come back to help pick me up when i fall then ya know haha :D Orr lake is definitely one of my favourite places and that's another reason i was disappointed as i wasn't able to rip around like I really enjoy here. Ah well!

the very first part of the video is across the road from the main parking lot, so the East Side

we did the cross the road then the long single trail side twice
