Forest of Dean Enduro ’08

September the 28th seemed to be the Piccadilly of enduro events as venues up and down the country were offering a variety of experiences for thousands of riders.  Over 200 of which plumped for a visit to the beautiful Forest of Dean for the third edition of this laid back and popular enduro put on by the local cycling club – The Royal Forest of Dean CC.

A devious 10-mile circuit cunning crafted from all the best the forest has to offer was what lay in wait for the hardy souls who came from near and far to take part. At a quick glance you wouldn’t have realised the amount of energy sapping climbing was involved, this included a lung busting mile or so climb from the start, nothing too severe but from a standing start vying for position, it guaranteed to make you sigh with relief when you hit the first of many miles of singletrack that snaked it’s way through the autumnal forest, couple that with no real place to rest as you can guess this was going to be a real ‘endurance’ test!
