This is Blake Samson's most ambitious challenge yet, he's decided to race the EWS 100 on a hardtail! We're at Tweed Valley in Scotland for the last stop of the 2021 EWS season. Blake will be taking on 5 stages of gnarly technical downhill sections linked together by gruelling climbs on the liaison stages. Is it possible to race on a hardtail?
