I'm aiming to be there, barring natural disasters and 3 kids. :)
I'd say the more open single track will be a natural disaster this evening after all the rain!

Now i am the one who can say OUCHH!. went for a spin to the top of the wind mills and back down the single track. then some videoing of gary flying down the track. I had a go on the "easy rider" bike myself. the peadals are not the problem its those grippy pins that do the damage. everyone should have a go at that bike ( if thats ok gary) the grip and stability is great. after todays blood bath I propose to call Garys DH track "Gladiator Run! :twisted: " see you all next friday
