Is it worth all that van time when you could learn more on your doorstep?
Ten runs with twenty minutes uplift is over three hours in a smelly van with a load of people you don’t know. It’s great for meeting new friends, talking shop, geeking out, slagging, bitching and generally complaining how many lines you missed, how flickable your bike is or simpering about how your bike is “blowing through its travel.”
Just consider you can do all that whilst getting fitter riding to the top. And so, relative to a few previous points, you need to be vanning it to get loads of technical runs in for skill, and you need to be pedalling it to be able to do multiple runs without getting tired. Strike a balance.
