just got back from innerleithen today, tbh, the push up is pretty tiring, but after the first time it seems to be quicker.

i made 3 full pushes and then sessioning of sections, but the push is sooo worth it the tracks there are the best i've ever ridden, by far my favourite was the 'cresta run' and if you start on the cresta and carry straight where it turns right in the mid upper section it goes on to a bloody techinical section. 

i say go for it and take lots of water, lucily for me the sun wasn't too bright but it was humid and  i got through 3l of water for each push up, i would have got through more but my camelback wouldn't hold it. 

ner, i was only there today, i rode the top section of matador, but tbh i only really took a huge liking to the cresta run with the ulternate finish, with tight/steep/rooty, switchbacks into the bomhole, instead of the more mellow singletrack into the bombhole.

The push up isnt really that bad. Its worth it if your going to do Matador or Make or break.
