Not a modern timed-stage enduro. This is enduro in the old sense: one big loop through the Dyfi Forest at Machynlleth, grinding long fire-road climbs to earn the famous natural Mach descents. Early May, mid Wales.

The course

The route

One big off-road loop, roughly 50km with around 2,000m of climbing, over 40m of ascent per kilometre. Long gravel fire-road climbs link the natural Mach 1, 2 and 3 singletrack and the Climach-X trail, repeated climb-and-descend cycles to the finish.

Intervals.icu

A skill day disguised as a fitness day

Typical sessions

Repeated long fire-road grinds: pace the first climb or pay for it on the rest.

Natural Welsh descents that are rocky, rooty, technical and physical to ride well.

Two systems fatigue at once: legs on the climbs, arms and grip on the descents.

The back third is the crash-risk zone, descending on tired arms and fading focus.

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Fire-road climbing intervals: 4x8 to 10min on a real climb for repeatable climbing power.

Natural-trail skills every single week: 60 to 120min on rocky, rooty descents.

Skills under fatigue: 30 to 45min descending after a 2hr ride, the race-day tired-arm state.

A long climb-and-descend ride building toward 3.5 to 4hr with 1,500m+ of climbing.
