We have just about finished marking the course- it's around 21k and probably has the most amount of new stuff ever.
This is the best track we have had in years- don't miss it.

not a lot of real tight stuff- we are trying to keep it flowing to stop the bottle necks- couple of good jumps in parts though.....

i like the sound of a nice flowing track. the real tight stuff gets to me a bit

Yeehaaa, so a bit shorter than last year's track will mean shorter lap times? Hope so as pretty sure I'd need a 30min rest in the middle to do 3.5hrs lol

Yes, but on the other side of the coin the shorter the track the more bikes go over it. End result it gets harder as the day goes on

Oh yeah!! roots, ruts, techy stuff. Thats all good for you Wires experts eh

i like ruts and tree roots and even whoops, but i also like to wind out through the gears every so often too. changing from 2nd to 3rd then back to 2nd again gets a bit boring after a couple of hours.
