Anyone else racing at Newnham Park tomorrow?

I realise I may be running foul of the trade descriptions act in using the term 'racing' to describe what it is that I do, but I'll be somewhere toward the back of the pack on a white Soul, trying not to slide off into the scenery on every corner! They've given heavy rain tonight, and rain tomorrow; should make fording the brook interesting.. ๐Ÿ™‚

Well I wasn't. But you have got me thinking.
Unfortunately I have to deliver my little boy to a party in the afternoon. So I would have to enter the 'fun race'

I'll bring me snorkel, and leave the flats on - probably easier than SPD's with the flippers!

Weather sounds like it is settling down now ๐Ÿ˜†
I'll be there for a morning run. I've even put on some mud tyres - just in case.

Flats sound like a good idea.

The results were posted in the portacabin yesterday - but they'll be online too I should think, probably via the XC racer website.

Not sure if Mark Minton was videoing it, but there may be pics by Snapper Chick and the like?

Muddy ole day eh? I managed 22nd (of 32) in the vets category, which is about par for the course with me! Note to self - buy some decent mud tyres, 'coz Racing Ralphs really didn't inspire much confidence! Just need to clean the bike now.. ๐Ÿ˜€
