Me too – team of three. Bit pissed to see no showers now – heavy rain may be a blessing.

PS Midges are in force this year, was at Glentress two weeks ago – which isn't usually too bad – and got bitten to ****.

hasnt been showers at a nofuss event for years …..

buy a solar shower off them if you simply cannot stand being muddy at a bike race.

Heavy coatings of mud stops midges biting anyway !

could be even better in the rain, if the course is anything like the year I went the climbs were mostly all weather/hardpack/fireroad but the fun race links will just get better!!
