Getting Ready To Dyfi

It’s the Howies Dyfi Enduro this Sunday. Roughly 40 miles in one big loop.

Here’s my checklist…

  • Force 10 Vortex tent.
  • Klein Attitude.
  • Kenda Dred Tred 2.1 UST tyres.
  • Inner tubes (you never know).
  • Ergon prototype carbon “suspension” flexy seat post.
  • Torq energy bars and gel (just drinking water in my bladder - will have energy drink at feed stations).
  • Prolink chain lube in a little portable bottle.
  • Goretex shorts.
  • Spare gloves.
  • Spare socks.
  • Deuter Race Air hydration pack.
  • Sweets.
  • Bagels with cheddar cheese, marmite and rocket.

My fitness is alright. And I’m mentally prepared for the seemingly endless gradual fireroad climbs.

All I have to do now is not get too pissed the night before…

    My fitness is below par and I’m mental, hopefully that’ll do. Luckily my Giant Anthem should get me through it.
