Fort William DH track: 1 Dan: 1

Dan had a score to settle at No Fuss Events’ Fort William Enduro downhill. After a huge and very painful stack at last year’s event he was out to show the mountain who’s boss and it sounds like he managed it (in a small way):

“Now we are even!

After having my arse handed to me last year by a big pointy rock garden I was back with a rather large amount of trepidation to tackle the endurance DH on Saturday. I managed 13 laps and came 13th overall (out of 130, results here) and even though I was a passenger a few times I stayed on and bike and body sort of survived. It is an epic event, so hard on the body it is untrue. I need to get my lap times under 7 mins though if I am to do any better but after last years efforts I’ll take walking away without crutches as a result ;-) Oh and the 785mm bars did the trick, I might have to cut them down now for normal use as I still have a sore shoulder from hitting trees at Innerleithen last time out.”

Bit more of an update soon…maybe some pictures too.
