Course update
The course was pretty wet and mucky this morning but it started to dry out and clear during the relay. The sun has been out since the afternoow along with a warm breeze so it should dry out even more my tomorrow if the weather stays good, with the exception of sheltered spots.!
We also cut out the bombholes today after rider feedback to save the climb out for tomorrow.
All seinor riders plus U16 will have the option to use the bombholes or chicken run tomorrow.
The lap times were alot slower than usual today with the slippy track, so to bring the times back into line with the agerage NPS lap times we are most likely going to cut out a section of trail prob the trail from the kicker back to the fireroad.
We will make final decisions on the above in the morning depending on course decision, weather...etc..!
Parking
The parking field is at a steep climbing angle and and a bit bumpy in places, so its tricky when wet with a high volume of traffic. We didnt use it today to save it from getting cut up prior to tomorrows NPS, the lower car numbers meant we could the forest fireroad. I walked the field tonight and the grass has dried out so it should be fine for tomorrow but still care is needed when entering and leaving. Follow the parking marshals instructions.
U8/U10 course
We had hoped to have this beside the field this year but with the rough terain and slippy conditions we have had to move it to the rear of the forest beside the back gate. Its about a 5/8 min walk from the main start/finish area. We have a nice little loop built which is much better than what we can get by the parking field.
U12 course
This will be approx 2/3 of the full loop and they will do 1 lap
U14
1 Lap of the full course (bombholes not included)
U16
2 laps of the full course
