On Day 6 of DotBooster the riders woke up in a remote field, with the sound of the adjacent stream and curious sheep inspecting their new neighbours. The sky briefly coloured pink, before the riders - fed with left over brownies and rice pudding - embraced their ultra resilience mindsets for a hike up Corn Du and Pen y Fan in the Welsh mist. Some brave souls even spiked their low resting physiology stats with a swim in the deep glacial waters of Cwm Llwch (!) while the rest of us looked on in a mix of disbelief and admiration.
After showers and a 2nd breakfast at the Manor, gave everyone a bit of glitter magic for the final day ‘wind down’ spin which involved navigating on the fly in pairs to secret (foodie) checkpoints.
A last visit to , a nice beer shared between new friends, and a final group dinner at with a glorious sunset view of the Central Brecon Beacons …and DotBooster No.4 had come to and end.
Big thanks to all the riders, but also to Julie and Russell and , for making it a very rewarding and special week. We loved all of your energies, your ‘up for it’ attitudes, your curiosity and your passion.
To quote one of this year’s riders “Thank you to everyone for such a great week. I arrived with nerves and trepidation and left with new friends, confidence, new kit ideas, more knowledge, a tummy full of the best ice cream in Wales and the acceptance that I am now going to end up with a full suspension mountain bike!”
We loved seeing how you all learned not just from us coaches, but also from each other. From picking up and passing on skills and knowledge. From seeing and doing. From sharing and caring. We look forward to following your future races and adventures and seeing you get involved in the wider DotBooster community of ongoing camaraderie, banter, knowledge exchange and mental support.
