Ive always enjoyed this event, yet never done a single lap
Started out doing the double for 3 years, then did the triple for a couple of years, last time I rode I did 4 laps as my swan song to enduro's. I knew it would be a fair chance I'd never be up to doing it again as I have just discovered I had a tumour in my spine that would require an invasive surgery and implants placed in my lower back. 20 months on Im still recovering. Ive managed a single lap solo last month to test my stamina but don't think I'd be up for doing it at any pace just yet. Maybe 2017 , if I do 5 laps sounds like a good round number
