I'll be there but believe me, after doing the scottish round yesterday at innerleithen, this one's gonna seam easy!!!

I'm local and can tell you that anything other than man made terrain will be muddy so bring your mud tyres!

I'm committed to going up but may not race after an 'off' last weekend left me with bruised ribs. I'll mince about on the Friday and see how I feel. Is the campsite available on the Thursday night?

Currently chucking it down atm!! Unlikely trails will dry out for the weekend, ground is saturated with the winters rain fall 🙄

Currently chucking it down. Trails are unlikely to dry out for the weekend, off-piste stuff has been wet all winter due to the constant rain 🙄

got an email through today

apparently Parr will be interviewing everyone before they set off on Sunday

also noticed

Ensure you have a helmet on and secured properly at all times on transitions and stages, failure to comply will result in "time penalties", [u]full face lid is highly recomended on stages[/u]

full face sounds good but I rode with FF on stages and open face on transitions at machyntlyth round couple of years ago and it was ghard work!

Quite jealous I'm not doing this one now, probably a good thing having been off the bike injured, I'd be very frustrated with not being fit enough.

Still, 7 weeks to Innerleithen!

Spat my dummy on section 4 during in practice and decided not to race. Spent most of Sunday feeling like an arse. 😳

On the plus side the bottom of section one made for great spectating.
