Just booked my camping. Just need to book the weather now.
I'm really excited 😀
Yeay - 6 of us doing this for the first time this year (RaveRacing team).
Staying at the Log cabins on the lake about 5 miles from the Castle. Going by all the good things I've heard from last year, I'm Really looking forward to this one 🙂
Looks like we might get a bit of rain for race day?
Are the trails typical Trail Centre i.e. drain well, hard(ish) packed gravel/rock?
If not, what tyres do you guys recommend? Are you running thicker than normal tubes to fend off pinch-punctures?
the trails are quite sandy where they're not rocky. Very free draining by the looks of them when I was there last year (not for the race). I'm going for lust high rollers front and rear and normal tubes and if I get flats in practise, I'll put a thicker high roller on the rear.
I was planning on a 2.35 small block 8 on the rear, and a 2.35 Nevegal on the front. If it's too wet, I might pop 2.35 high rollers on. I bought some Maxxis Welter weight tubes (slightly thicker than norm) but I ordered 29"! My mistake, but who rides 29"!?
