In case you were planning a visit, I don't know exactly where, but probably worth checking before you set off. Looks deliberately started too

Does anyone know if this impacts the Sherwood Pines Cycling Club time trial tonight?

My wife is heading up direct from work and likely not to see any media as she's working in a lab today, so I'll likely need to call or text her if it is cancelled.

Thanks

I've never been but those dirt jumps are on my short list. I was hoping to check them out asap.

@carbis - I've not seen anything on Sherwood Pines shop/club Facebook pages and they are normally pretty active with stuff to do with the Wednesday night trials

@dawson Thanks for that, most social media is blocked at my work and no mobile phones allowed.

I was there today and did the blue route with my family. No sign of any damage, no mention of it at the shop when we hired our bikes either.

Also plenty of riders around and near the blue so presumably doing the red.

The fire was outside Sherwood pines, more near the golf course for those that know the area

Looks deliberately started too

They always say that. In reality it was probably a piece of broken glass or a bottle or something coupled with the extremely strong sun we get.

If it was deliberate they'd state they found evidence, or the remains of a BBQ or campfire, but nothings been mentioned.
