Dusty dry - a few new amazing single track additions - the big climb has been cut into smaller climbs.


Put simply, the course is amazing. I was half way around my first lap with a huge smile on my face going, OMG - this is amazing. Probably the best around. Oh, and me and my bike was still spotless after the pre-ride. Makes my evening more relaxing :)


Be there or be...

yeah seriousley savage course, its almost completely single track, with the exception of the start finish area and a small section in the middle. i couldn't believe it when i was riding down some of the single track, it was so dusty, you can laugh in the face of those off camber roots as they are almost not noticable! some technical little rocky sections in the course, but all completely rideable.


oh and they marked every little thing that may cause upset with red spray paint, so its all good in the hood.


cheers again ollie and ash for the lift.
