Unfortunatly no room to pass on the way down but certainly will catch them up or pull away!
be careful in these bits, enormous fun but with tired limbs easy to make a mistake and come a croper! saw many a roady upside down in the undergrowth last year!

Thats me changed to the 2 hour race now Should be fun, just make sure i get some wine gums to munch half way through. Take it some of you will be going for a practice lap before the race?

I'll certainly will be doing the first half as a practice.

Jelly beans FTW

I don't know why but I splashed out on Lucozade Jelly beans last race, can't say I noticed a difference expect in price. I'm just more of a fan of wine gums, if i could be arsed with the big bag i'd even go jelly babies - need to sort out some form of handle bar treat dispenser

Lol that would get some looks!

It's about how it works not how it looks don't wanna have sweets flying everywhere if its get a bit bumpy on a dh section tho

What's the toughest climb? When I was there I did the Old Hill loop several times but looking at endomondo link there seems to be a harder climb.

Well it's due to be pissing down on Sunday so going to make for an interesting race.. most of us will probably end up on are arse and hopefully the roadies will split their Lycra shorts

We could rig up a piñata for you to head but on the down hill sections ... then we could all benefit from a shower of jelly beans

I was just thinkin zip tie a sandwhich bag to the bars so i could dip my hand in when i was feeling a bit low on energy i'll prolly just end up putting them in my pocket and accepting i might eat a stray bit of fluff from time to time

pissing it down you say ... was kinda hoping for a dry track this time so i didn't end up on my arse of going head first into a tree.

just need to see if my trips to glentress and fortwilliam have raised my game any!

Even though its forecast is rain, I recon its dry enough over there to hold up ok? There is of course some roots to consider.

Javi, I would say the worst Hill is the ones off the start field and
Northlands woods, this is where they have put in an extra bit from last year.

Weather is changing constantly, one minute rain and showers next cloud and sun, so best just wait until the day...

Weather don't really affect me anyhoo, its sunny i sweat more, it rains and i get wet. Only way I can look at it. Maybe I'm just simpler when it comes to weather coming from Scotland

Gonna nite ride the course this eve if anyone's around?

Uhmmmm...what time??
