I think it's time to face another fear and this weekend at the DW (100) I'm going to ride the bridge/jump and was wondering if anyone had any riding techniques for narrow planks across a river? (any updated plans steve01? Eye-wink
And how far is it from the finish?
Anyone thinking about giving it a go this year?

I guess you will be riding it this year unless you want 100% certainty of getting wet.... I take ti not many of you have read page 10, Course details and feed stations.....

And i quote from the Dirtworks Event Program

"Please note: This year only riders will be allowed to access the bridge. If you do not intend riding across the bridge,
please follow the directions of the marshals to the river wading area. You will have to pickup your steed (we suggest
above your head) and wade across the river to the other side."
