is abercarn any good? ive seen some videos and it looks like a very pedally course, is it? Also how would it be on a hardtail as the videos i dont think give any gauge in size.

You could push up the track which would probably quicker than the fireroad. But the fireroad is an easy push compared to the track. Awesome track though, very fun.

If you've got reasonable range of gears and a long seat post, the fire road push is mostly mellow enough to be able to ride more or less all of it. Its not bad anyway. The track itself is steepish and i wouldn't wanna push a dh bike up it, but a HT should be ok. Its a well mint track though, definately worth a visit.
But surely the point of an uplift day is so you can check out before racing, rather than visiting to check it out before an uplift day?!

Its not too bad pushing up the track at Abercarn, I did it a couple of years ago on the friday night before the Dragon, it was the ride back down in the dark that was tricky.
