I'm finally back in NZ, but I'm full of the flu. I'm pretty sure I'll be good to go next weekend.

I'm pretty gunked up too. Want to ride both days sort of but probably should take it easy. So MX Saturday or Sandpit Sunday/Saturday? Can't choose

Good question, I heard it was sandy last year & I'm hoping the hosing down waits until Monday morning

Sounds like the Sandpit-but maybe warmer?

Yeah that's what I thought too, "sounds like the sandpit".
Weather wise, not much in it.

Yeah, think the sandpit sounds better at this stage. I wanna do some of the tracks we haven't done yet

Feeling courageous...Or masochistic

Yup, the ones with the scary names

Depends how wet it is tho. So if you fail at the big dipper is there room at the bottom to get a run up and try again? Or just slink off sadly out one of the other exits?

theres a home bit at the bottom of the big dipper if you cant get up it...
