Mate is offering to drive us from
Somerset. Thing is I usually work Sundays so any idea if this will be worth taking a day's holiday for?
Rheola used to be a cracking venue. Not sure if much has changed as not been for years.
Best bit to watch used to be Star Wars. A crazy muddy root-infested hell hole of a section. Used to see some proper carnage in there.
Remember watching Steve Peat sail through it one time like it ain't no thang..
I'd say it's a cool venue to watch but depends how much you like watching. I'd rather be riding it for sure.
Raced there last year in Welsh Champs for the first time.
I was Happy to get down in one piece,one hell of a gnarly track,in the wet,great fun,well worth checking out,proper DH track.
I didn’t see any spectators, in the Star Wars section,during the race,not actually sure if it was allowed,only saw a couple of marshalls,might be ok for the big race.
If it’s wet,it will a cracking race to watch!
Sounds good cheers .
The only comment I would make is regard parking - there's not enough space for the actual riders on race weekends, so you'll probably have to park some distance away and walk into event.
I wouldn't take a days holiday to watch it, personally.
It's a good old fashion Dragon DH track. It's been forever since I raced/uplifted there. Probably good fun to go back & do an uplift day again.
Can pretty much guarantee it will be raining 🙂
