Wow It looks dry... Tell me it's like that the whole way round??!! That drop isn't so bad - its just a whoosh then you're at the bottom.

Looks really dry! Gutted that I left my skewer at the Gorrick 100 last week and the replacement hasn't turned up! 🙁

Gee's right about the drop, it's absolutely fine!

Its a different drop, the old one is taped off and this one is just along from it.

Its pretty dry all the way round, I was running Aspen's F&R and only struggled in a couple of places. The new lines and area's that not used other than for the races are a little soft from being newly created and not bedded in, pretty rooty in places but a nice little course.

njee20, what Skewer do you need, I have a few spares knocking about...

I did go and have a look for your skewer on Tues evening, rode all up and down the fire road and in the grass but couldn't see it.

It's a Trek ABP one, so needs to be out of a Top Fuel or Fuel Ex, 3rd one I've lost, you'd think I'd learn by now! Never mind, saves me entry fee and petrol, and I had a nice road ride in the sun today instead!

Cheers Gee, appreciate you looking! I'd go and have a look myself, but doubt I'd even be able to work out where I'd parked without the other cars!

Although a little soft in places from not being a used route

Only muddy bit to note was on a right-hand corner in a farm field, (stay left)

njee20, heavy 18" inbred sitting here you can use if you want for series points etc...

Dobo - There's a demo day too, Giant, Trek & Cannondale I believe with a little separate route setup to test ride

Take it from your other post your local-ish to the race also?
