SDA Fort William and 10 Under the Ben
Following my puncture and subsequent disappointment at the Ae Forest Enduro, I was keen to smash out some good results in my next couple races. The first of which was the 2nd round of the Scottish Downhill Series in Fort William. I arrived to find my good friend Pete Scullion who had some sweet IXS goodies for me. My favourite of the lot was an all in one waterproof rain suit which was ideal for the wet and windy conditions.

Northern Downhill – Gravity Enduro 2011
As soon as I heard about this race I got onto Google and hunted down an entry form. Without stopping to check the specific details I printed off a form, filled it in, wrote a cheque and popped it in the post. A race with a title containing the words: ‘gravity’, ‘enduro’ and ‘downhill’ had to be a good one. They are my three favourite words when it comes to riding bikes. After further inspection I discovered that the race was to be held in Kielder forest on the 5th and 6th of March and organised by a man named Carl Davison. (more…)
