I hope I don't find that I've walked half way back to the campsite again and find that the coffee I paid for is barely even warm.

The bridge ramps look a fair bit longer and more rideable than the ones at BBF.

A Bridge at Eastnor?

Anybody remember the 98 Malvern Classic then, whem they had a bridge over a road as part of the DH course? In the wet and muddy practice, the silly boys weren't slowing down in the slightest, and as you can imagine several of them ended up in hospital slipping on wooden boards with wet and muddy tyres.

Bridge got bypassed come race time...

That's not much of a bridge, though. The ones we've had recently in Nat. Trophy CX races (Derby, Ipswich, Rutland) have been much steeper, and still negotiable when covered in mud.

mboy.- I think i was there that year . I remember there were lots of big crashes as riders landed on the down side and the wheels just washed out , and they got slammed into the decking .

Rob Warner took charge and they had a little tete a tete on the middle of the bridge . In the end they put a few hay bales on it and made into a slalom on the flat top section to stop the need for the air ambulance every 30 mins .

If they do, just cut the tape down. And nick their pegs. If they say anything, just strip naked then get a pigeon and bite it's head off and hold it aloft above your head and let the blood drip down over your naked body.

They won't bother you agan, and will probbly bugger off somewhere else, thus ensuring you have plenty of space. ๐Ÿ™‚

I was there an hour ago, few spots of rain but mostly sunshine and pretty windy, the ground is parched, I didn't go over to the bridge but from a distance it appeared to have matting or something on it,

If you see an enormous army tent attached to the back of a Land Rover, camped next to Pearce Cycles, come and say hello.
