Thanks to everyone (all 34 of you!) for turning up for the preview. I hope you all had fun.
That was a proper take-over of Costa Coffee at the end too - well done!

If you've not signed up, get a move on!

Was a nice little course, and good to meet everyone, the faces on people outside Costa were a picture "where have all these chuffing bikes come from?" haha.

I was the guy on the brown 456, grannying the ups and mincing the downs!

Looking forward to the day now, should be good (if a little muddy) fun, love that berm section!

h4muf - it's very suited to HT & CX so ride it on the bike you like best.

It's pretty smooth overall, really flows in sections, there are berms, there are one or two chutes to shoot down, some roots, some carrying climbs, some short, sharp climbs and a boggy field to cross.

It's lovely.
