I was on the course today as well, still pretty wet and slippery in some of the wooded sections. Looking pretty good though - believe I will have to make my racing debut on Sunday now too

Great stuff.... have to all meet up before the race... try and get there before 9am so we can get a good recce in on the course lap.. then the start...

Dependant on what age group you fit into as to where you start in the grid pens.... :thumbup:

(ooh just seen a load more icons on the forum :wave:

)

You know it'll be £25 on the day.... worth it though...

Looks to be a dry sunny day on Sunday as well 8-)

Yeh i know, but i never really knew about the race details till after the online registration cut off, only an extra £5.

Only two more races left after the Danbury one.. :cry:

Braintree and Langdon Hills

Look out for my blue RAV4...see you on Sunday....

kevc · **Posts:** 50 **Location:** Colchester / Glasgow

Yeh i won't be able to make them either, cause I'm back off to Glasgow for Aug. Have to wait until next year...

Though after checking i might be able to make Langdon hills for the finale

I've got a very rare silver astra!

Be wearing a maroon tshirt tho.

Yea but a swop for Glentress is far better :thumbup:

It will still be muddy believe me! Dry or not Sunday !

Yeh def, there was a lot of water lying about in the sheltered areas, just a pain when u come out on to the grassy bits where knobbly tyres ain't ideal!

chatman · **Posts:** 2755 **Location:** Riding my bike somewhere

O goody slip and slide time.. it's also pi$$ing it down here now.....

kevc · **Posts:** 50 **Location:** Colchester / Glasgow

Good good, cause the only tyres i've got down here just now are my tioga DH, so don't want other people to be getting an advantage on slicks

Couple of quick ones on the 'norm' for these races. Do many people carry tools/spare inner tubes etc or just run the risk of the unfortunate happening? Not had a puncture in over a year but i can it happening tomorrow just cause I'm racing. Also don't have a frame bag so it means carrying a bag, and I'm still toying with the decision of camelbak v's water bottle.
