• Sad news but the right decision to make. Roll on 2021. . #Repost @exposuretwentyfour12 • • • • • • 2020 Exposure Light 24/12 Postponed Good Evening, Over the last few days we've talking with our team, sponsors and the land owner about how and if this years event was/is going to go ahead. We've all been so committed to making the happen which is why we've left it as late as possible to make a final decision. We've been brain storming on how we could make the event happen whilst adhering to social distancing measures, still keeping the vibe of the event and most importantly not putting anybody at risk. We came up with loads of ideas such as segregating the camping, testing everybody's temperature at the entrance, staggered starts even putting the event back 2 months in hope that a cure will be found. It was a final conversation with David the landowner that made us realise that we needed to postpone this years event until 2021. We could put a number of controls in place to reduce the risk but we simply could never remove it. There would always be a chance that somebody could attend the event, catch the virus from somebody else and become seriously ill. Now we are all keen to race but we simply can't risk the health and wellbeing off any competitors, helpers, supporters, friends or family members for a race. Regardless of how desperate we are to get back to racing. So for now racing continues to be on hold. All entrants will be automatically transferred over to the new date next year. You don't need to action anything. If you do want a refund then that is available to you. We'll be honest and say that if everybody puts through a refund then the cost to us in fees (banking and website transaction fees) will be huge. So we're asking that those that plan to race with us next year please leave your entry as it is for the time being. As a way of saying thank you we’ll provide a free event T-shirt for those that don’t process a refund. (...)

  • Congratulations to our sponsored rider @benwgoodfellow on setting a new UK Everesting Record! 🔥 #Repost @benwgoodfellow • • • • • • As an endurance athlete, with a climbers build, an Everesting by bike has been on my bucket list for a few years. But, in a normal season, with racing to peak for, finding a slot in the calendar for such a massive undertaking is nearly impossible. Except this isn't a normal season. The lack of racing makes this the perfect time for such a challenge. The selected climb was Gummer's How, also known as Fell Foot Brow. 1.5km of relatively straight road, at a savage 11% average gradient. Despite this high average gradient, it would still take 55 ascents and 160km of riding to achieve the 8848m equivalent elevation of MT Everest. Onto the big day breakfast, coffee and out the door. By 4:45 am, I am on the bike and into the first descent to the start. It's fast, clocking 80kph in places, luckily I am equipped with the finest UK made brake blocks from @fibraxuk . I would love to say the 1st half flew by, but that isn't true. Although the intensity hadn't fully kicked in yet, 5 hours on the bike, with most of that time climbing is never easy. It was at this stage I moved from mostly solid foods to gels and energy products supplied by @kendalmintco These would provide the extra kick needed as the effort started to bite. And bite it did! The RPE increased as the watts slightly decreased. Despite some rough patches I was able to keep ticking down the reps while noting mental milestones... the highest point in Europe ✅, Base Camp ✅, 33 complete (60%) ✅, 44 complete (80%)✅, 10 remaining✅..... 5,4,3,2,1. Despite my immense fatigue I was able to let rip on the last rep to achieve my fastest ascent of the day. With my family cheering me along, I summit for the final time, hand's aloft I punch the air with pride. What a day!!! 9hr 47 mins from start to finish. Going into this challenge completion was the only thing on my mind. Only after my time was officially published in the everesting hall of fame, did it become apparent, I had set a new UK everesting record. @hells500 #everesting #everestingchallenge #fibraxuk #ukmanufacturer #buybritish

  • Looks so cool. . #Repost @the.european.bike.project • • • • • • A true homemade gravitybike. This rig has no drivetrain. You clearly need a shuttle to get on top of some hill to start a descend that gravitybikers describe as very close to flying. @strangerconcept made this bike using tubes from the local hardware store, leather from a local store for the saddle and grips and some old @hopetech brakes and @fibraxuk discs. I was blown away when @strangerconcept sent me these photos. Did you know that such gravitybikes existed?

  • Change of date for Round 1 of the Welsh Enduro Series at Llandegla Forest! #Repost @welsh_enduro_series • • • • • • Stay Safe Important information regarding the revised Round 1 at Llandegla Forest on the 6th of June. Following a long chat with Badger from Oneplanet Adventure this morning, the event will be postponed to a new date of the 11th of October, and become Round 4 of the series. With the lockdown set to continue for at least a few weeks we had to make the decision now to be fair to all. The new series dates and venues will be: Round 1: 5th July - Foel Gasnach Round 2: 23rd August - Llanfyllin Round 3: 20th September - Dyfi Forest Round 4: 11th October - Llandegla Forest If we can fit in a Round 5 in late October / early November then we will try our best to do this but at this stage we are just going with all the regulations and guidelines from the Government and will inform all as soon as we have definitive answers.
