Still time to fit cleats to your wellies... 
It should be a dryish day. Shame about the fact it's been raining for the last week and the park looks like it's doing its floodwater storage job adequately. At least the cobbles will be a respite from the water features.
It's only my fourth race mountainposture and just finishing is a big buzz... I will be riding a borrowed Hakkalugi which is way too good for me but say Hi (and I'm called Beate when not masquerading as my dog).
I'll be turning up to ride in the vet's category on my Planet-X Kaffenback. I did it last year with a miserable cold. I figured it'd be kill or cure. It did neither but I couldn't drive home for coughing fits. It was still a heap of fun though.
Clover - hope to say hi tomorrow then. I'm on a borrowed Focus Mares which is clean. Now at least. White seems to be an odd colour for a cross bike but what do I know. Yeah, looking forward to it.
Gritty - do you have a cold this year as well?
No cold this year. Thanks for asking 
. Hoping, therefore, to improve on my woeful placing of last year.
At least you got off your arse and did it. Anyway, last is a very respectable place. I think anyway
It's all buffed and ready for you all
See you there. Be nice as I'll have been up far earlier than anyone should on a bank holiday... There will be coffee though, and a burger/frites van with pump action mayo for a true Belgian experience*
* Oh, and did I mention that I've bought every competitor a Duvel? You can collect it at sign-on... And the winners win giant bottles of the stuff.
And once again the Town Band will be joining us, and we have proper loos, proper changing rooms (at the Leisure Centre) and hot showers!
Ooh!
That looks exactly like a mountain bike race I did back in 1992 on my full rigid Trek! It was down in Ashworth Valley, not too far from Tod, there were two deep stream crossings and it was organised by a local shop - either Leisure Lakes or Mike Cookson.
