Beer tent? All of a sudden my race entry seems like more of a good idea...

My idea is better. Dont race and drink beer+eat burgers instead 🙂

Entering a race is not necessarily the same as racing...

Exempt clothing have very kindly let the QECP trail Collective us there Gazebo/Markey to promote us and what we do at the Hargrove’s demo day on Sunday.
(I will be there for most of the day with the exempt boy) 🙂

Craig has made a donation box for the trails, so spread the word all week to everyone if they want to donate any money they can.

Also I have sorted out with Hargrove’s that exempt are aloud to sell there merchandise on the day, So if your interested in buy some SICK/DENCH t-shirts they will be available, Check out there range online: http://exemptclothing.co.uk/

Have you got an up to date trail map anywhere online?

that map is even a little out of date already? the race extended the singletrack climb to war down nicely for us 🙂
edit: map is roughly right, all climbs except one are nice singletrack through the trees now.

also forecast for next week is excellent so conditions should be good for anyone just to ride the red next weekend.

well it wasn't.. the right "ear" is all new. we think it looks like the Donnie Darko rabbit :p
if you like the visuals support the guys at exempt they're good guys, they care about the quality and it's a hard business making money on clothing like this.

yay thanks Scott.. knew someone flashed me [i]not[/i] getting air on that table, wondered if that pic existed. look reasonably balanced too.. unlike Doddy haha.

This is looking like another miserable pump-track wet-weekend shivering the cold hope you have a plan so things get done 🙂
