This blog will chart my progress as I work towards competing in my first mountain biking Enduro event. Despite occasional weekend rides, I have never taken part in any competitive mountain biking event and am, by all accounts, in a fairly poor state of physical and mental fitness when it comes to the demands of Enduro racing! Suffice to say there's plenty of work to be done.
For those of you who are familiar with my previous blog (covering my experiences training for and completing a 1,000 mile Land's End - John O'Groats road ride in summer 2011) this blog will hopefully serve a similar purpose, albeit without a 'roadie' slant. The main aims are to inform (and hopefully entertain) friends, family and other non-cycling in-lookers, to provide useful information to those of you who might be considering a similar undertaking, and finally to allow me to track my progress and log my experiences along the way.

I already have a few exciting things on the horizon, so will hopefully bring you up to speed soon.
Cheers for now,
