Des Walkden completed this race which is a 6.5k trail run, an 18k mountain bike ride and 5.5k trail run.
He finished 77th out of 203 solo finishers in 2:47:05
He felt that his lack of mountain bike experience let him down as the course was very steep, icy and technical and suited the better mountain bike riders. Other than that, he thoroughly enjoyed his day out in what he described as a well organised event.
