Just a thread to discuss the race, Have you entered, any pro's you know have entered? etc. Today we went down the course and i can tell you now, it was a mudbath, if it's raining bring your Mud tyres!

And it was indeed a mud-bath, he's not lying folks.
Although the track was still fun if a little slow...

so long as it's dry, today it was puddle,puddle, puddle, sludge, sludge, sludge, puddle, puddle..... and so on, hopefully drainage will be sorted as the course is pretty flowy, btw if you have like a million bikes or whatever, i reckon something like an sx trail, bottlerocket etc would be best for the course.

I'm entered, though getting real tired of all the rain :/

Is the course marked out then?

yer, it was stupidly wet when we went because the ground was saturated, if it is dry for 2 days before the race it will be completely dry because it is a sand based course.

I've entered, reckon I'll be alright with High rollers on a hardtail?

I don't see how it can be a mudbath, I've been to chicksands when it had rained all day the day before and it rained all day the day we were there, it was wet but not muddy.

It was seriously wet... it had rained for the past two weeks pretty much.

You had to take a really shit line round the first corner to avoid drowning!

Looking at your profile, you've got a stinky with 888s, you're gonna thrash me, I'm on a heavily modded Spesh hardrock.
