Thursday 23rd Aug - Situation Report for Phillipe's Bike Repair Races, Sat 25th August

Trail good: packed earth; a short stretch of soft sand (should sort the bikes from the scooters); there was a small tree trunk across the 4 mile trail - easy to scramble across, we'll see if it's still there on Saturday. Water will be in position at the 2 mile point on the 4 mile course; both the 1 mile (actually 0.75mile) and the 4 mile are loops, so there is no head-on passing in this race; there are some proud tree-roots but I got across them ok on a scooter so you softies on big wheeled bikes should only slightly rattle your fillings.

See you out there... if you think you're hot enough....
