Me! i'm in. what time?

Good!!
I have Wednesday off so I can do it any time. On Tuesday I can be at Basildon train station as early as 3pm.

Wednesday is better for me, I can pick you up from the station if you like.

That's fine. Morning or afternoon?

I wouldn't go too early as most of the course is not normally open to bikes and it's near the rangers office at 1 tree hill.

That's weird!? Thanks for the info.

You put the time, VW.

Bit far for me to drive over for a practice on this one sadly, I shall be trying to make it on race day tho!

Can't make week days fellas London traffic or public transport put payed to that..

the best bit of the course including where all the start and stalls set up is a nature reserve thats why there's no bikes allowed on that part of the land . i only ride it just before dark or at night when the wardens and dog walkers have gone, you may see some strange goings on in the woods as its know for dogging
if you want to climb some hills go to westley heights, Vw knows it.
I'm possibly riding there this evening or thursday depending on my callouts.

So it's going to be impossible to do last year's course then. Anyway, the purpose of this trip is doing some hill training there. Let's see what VW says.

What are the hills like there? Length/gradient etc? I'm not gona get a chance to see the track before race day, even on race day dunno if i'll make it for a practice lap cause its over an hour drive there and I'm too lazy to get up early.

I don't have the slightest idea but there's some info in bikeradar: http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtop ... &start=800

So you'll be going today Wednesday? What time?
