existing red and black are fine to ride, skills area is out of commission for a couple of weeks while it is revamped (it is going to be great!)
Don't know where the charging for car parking has come from we have no plans for that.
Keep an eye out for Ed's blog which will be starting soon for uptodate info on conditions and how the new build is going.
If you do go riding up there please KEEP OFF the new stuff it is not ready to be riden and doing so will just make more work and potentially stuff it up. If you see anyone riding the new stuff please ask them not to. It won't be much fun at the moment anyway.
Also if you are up there in the week please be extra careful when near the machines, if there is signage and tape up please take notice of it it is meant for you not someone else! Getting cliped by a bucket would not be good for anyone!
