I don't often get of my bike on mtb events but i find it kind of stretches the legs, mind i'm used to walking and the odd jog.
Are you going for the win on sunday Tom?
Was 104 your mate? he was flying!
One thing with adding the tramway you get that nice bit of single track down to it.
I obviously didn't see the course but hows this for an idea for "tricky bits". Put in a chicken run that takes 30 seconds longer to do - so you have a choice of a short technical section ( uphill or down) or a chicken run that takes 30 seconds longer. anyone running on the technical bit gets to stand for 30 seconds after it before getting back on their bike. gives an advantage to those who can ride their bikes
errrrrr, its not a "race" then, if you were doing SSUK it would be fine, not for our format
....and you have to mark it and police it both of which suck in valuable resource, not to mention that the local topography doesn't help
Anyway, big changes to the course this week for both Have-a-go's and the main categories opening up new parts of the quarry
it should be good!
i was gonna say, given the topography of the quarry i doubt that chicken runs are possible at the most tech parts...
anyway i reckon i'll be marshalling again this weekend. let's hope i don't win a bottle of booze again!
xherbivorex thanks for marshalling again! promise we'll try and keep you in a warmer spot this time!!!!
anyway, lets get that sun dance going so we can have a repeat of the first events weather!
new course look good, think people will like it!
HI i've emailed a couple of times about marshalling this weekend but still no reply?
bomberman email me, its in my profile, i'll sort it out
Are there any new course changes for the next race this coming Sunday?
Rick.
yes....but its top secret i'm afraid, if your there you'll see it on sunday!
oh come on Neil, spill the beans on the new 'top secret' course!
Rick.
i could tell you but then i'm afraid i'd have to kill you 
i've emailed about marshalling (well, for my mrs)
Hi Neil, do I have to go above your head?
And ask a higher power!
I call your bluff and say you don't know the new route!
Rick.
if you have to know (and if you think it will help)
it will start on a start line and make its way round the quarry going not only up but down and around objects, the course is mainly on the earth, but if you do feel that is a touch easy you could try jumping bits...
it will end at the finish, which will more than likely be within a few miles of the start
Cheers for the heads up wildrnes, very useful for sunday heh heh.
wildrnes - ha ha ha i like it perfectly put
the new bits of course looks good, a bit heavy on the course marking but we are starting to use the quarry more and more
unfortunately the best bit doesn't work with the format and so got the chop, I'll be racking my brain to get a course where we can use it as it will be a good challenge
see you on the 17th
