I haven't done BE for years now, but I am hoping to start again this year if all goes to plan. I have bought myself a day pass membership and a training pass for Jensen - we are hoping to do a couple of BE80 events this year - is this all I need? I know it isn't mandatory to wear a medical armband any more, I know I need to get my hat tagged at my first event, my body protector is brand new so meets the standards.... ummm... anything else? :)
 
Yay, hope you have fun :)

They have tightened up the allowed time, so if you want to be competitive then maybe a xc app and a stopwatch.
 
Thanks PorkChop :) I am bricking it but really looking forward to it too lol - what xc apps are there nowadays? God I feel old.... :o
 
We use this one - www.crosscountryapp.com

Far better to work out your minute markers so you ride to the beeps and don't need to really look at your stopwatch.

Or don't worry and just go the speed you are comfortable with :)

Apart from that, nothing has really changed :)
 
Thanks PC :) :) I am a nightmare for 'trying to hard' so at BE80 I think I might just doddle around initially and see how it goes....I am now back on the yard of a 4* eventer so I think she will have something to tell me as well :p But really, really appreciate your input x
