Just spent the weekend at this event. Great course, great atmosphere and awesome riding. Anyone else go? What did you think?
Thought it was pish. Pish course, pish atmosphere, pish course designer and pish organiser. Basically it was a load of pish. 😉
who won?
I hear they were all smoked my that local lad smee.
Ben Cathro won, Lewis Buchanan 2nd.
Despite living around the corner... I never made it over to the race today. I did drive past the car park this afternoon ... did the course finish in the field up and over to the right ? There seemed to be a bunch going on up there.
I'll need to take a walk up the hill and try and work out the course and give it a run or two this week.
Yip. Course finished in the field. Course is getting dismantled tomorrow unfortunately.
You'll be lucky - it's being taken down tomorrow 🙁
Thanks for results. How do you dismantle a course tho?
Run a bulldozer down it. Or remove all the woodwork.
OK. Was there a lot of woodwork in this course then?
fair bit.
yup
You take out the woodwork then put big trees over the entrances to the trails. That stops people riding it and preserves it for next year - hopefully 🙂
I raced it, really enjoyed it as it was a change from the usual inners tracks, fast and super loose, and there was no pedalling for the uplift!
wicked event, nice to see so many Euros and WC racers over here too.
