Well it's not a very exciting series prize is it - £10 of something that you can do yourself with a bit of innertube!

When a series prize is announced you expect it to be a pair of forks or a frame or a biking holiday or something.  But then I guess RRP are pretty limited in what they can offer since AFAIK that's the only product they have Wink

And yep, I'm sure there's plenty of series which have NO prize at all - I've no problem with that, we all know there's not much cash in this sport.

Seb,

The fact that a very small rider run company wants to support racing by giving a way custom printed product should be applauded.

Also at each round of the Series you can win an Astrix Hardtail frame.

We have spent hundreds of pounds at each round giving the top 3 in each category a glass etched trophy.

We decided to give anyone who pre-entered all 3 rounds get a FREE £45 race shirt.

So no not big on series prizes but we spread what we got across the series so more people can benefit.

I know Chris, that's what I was getting at.  Free shirts for entering, free frame at each round, seems odd to have a £10 product as the prize for the series, you have to admit Smiley

I don't really give a monkey's cos I know I won't be winning, but it just struck me as the wrong way round Smiley

Yes you can still bring your caravan and you still camp.

We have a back up plan that if the bottom field is to wet.
We will park all Caravans, motorhomes, large vans etc a long the fire road to the quarry.

For camping we will use the top field next to the gate, there is a stone road down the middle of it and its down hill so very easy to get out. Grin

Team pits can still park next to the finish - please phone me 07702 826260

Caersws does dry quite quickly and the track is quite hard so swamps might be a bit to harsh  Roll Eyes

I am sure Si and his descent world van will have just the perfect tyres for you  Cheesy

Yeah, Caersws is good in that the track faces the sun and as such dries relatively quickly.

As opposed to somewhere like Gethin where if it's rained within the last month you know it's going to be miserable Smiley

I don't think it's going to stop rainin all weekend ! It's not gonna dry out
The last wet uplift I did was rideable on high rollers strange really, until the last couple of hours when it went super slippy, if it really rains hard the top secton end up turning into a stream (which is fun) Wink

There are little caersws cup arrrows stuck sign posts all the way from Newtown.

There will be more signs once you get close to the forest.
