Course reveal coming up soon.
Who's riding and what are your thought's on the trails?
I'm not but the laddie is.
I'm going to put a punt on new cut stuff around New Skool into right side clyde as one stage.
And maybe Not for Slowmophobes as is has been shut for a while for another.

Not for Slowmophobes is shut due to a nesting buzzard so don't think that'll be a stage.
They were working on NYNY on Monday so that may be in.
Trails should be in prime condition for you though whatever they are.
Just a touch of rain the last couple of days to keep the dust down but almost fully dry again today.

Lacks a bit of originality at Golfie IMHO. Nice mash up on Inners side though!
Good long stages to test the fitness.

Yeah, nothing you could call daring in there but it's all good solid stages.

taking my wife into hospital tommorrow so don't yet know if i'll make it up on saturday but at least the course looks like it'll be no problem to ride it blind sunday.
will probably end up a touch slower but at least i'll have an excuse for when my mate beats me again.

Very tame course. I'd say Vallelujah was a tougher bunch of stages

Expect this to be a pretty good day out. Seems like the tracks become progressively harder and Bigbaw under race conditions should be fun.

I was up on Big Baw on weds helping tape the course, and the ground was just damp enough to feel pretty greasy in places. Chance of some decent rainfall before race day though, so I guess that might help (...or hinder depending on your perspective🥴).

Judging by the nice dry roots, SP’s preview was filmed just before the weather broke.

Good luck if you’re racing.

Rode part of the inners stage today.
Should be good. Might go up and watch a bit.

Raining at my end of the valley, that'll add some spice 🙂

Great video. That’s a big day out, for sure.

missed practice and going up in the morning, speaking to one of my mates and it had rained before they got there and a bit more fine rain today while they practiced, big baw was hard work and quite slippery apparently, sounded like it could do with a lot more rain.

Big Baw's going to surprise people I reckon, for all it's one of the easiest golfy trails that doesn't mean it's easy to ride quick, it's bloody awkward in places.
