I'd definitely suggest knee pads, there's a few trails and stumps that will want to screw your knees up. I'll probably ride with my half lid first during the warm ups and full face as we hit the reds/blacks if we get that far.

I haven't earned the right to wear a full face - I can't jump!
Think I need to start looking at Yowtoob vids of the runs.

There's no real need, the blue runs are all fairly straight forward fun, the reds stepping it up with a few more technical features and the blacks stepping it up again and then carries on going |

Yeah, I'll do the Blues then see if I remembered to take my balls out of the Wife's handbag and have a look at a couple of reds. Munky went earlier in the year - he's a much better rider than me - and he said it's a wide variation of difficulty. He mentioned 'rimdinger' which I THINK is a red , he did it but he said it was right on the edge of what he could ride. It'll be testing, that's for sure! |

Have fun guys. The blues look pretty good - not sure I'd cope with some of the reds though.

I know we're having banter about speed, but i go as fast as i can everywhere. Looking at local times it says i'm doing OK. This place is a different ball game. If i hold back though, i get complacent. I don't care about beating or winning, not competitive in the slightest (only with myself). If someone is faster, i tip my hat. So now i've got that out the way.......last one down buys the beers Here here.. |
