Gutted i am going to miss it - pack plenty of tear-offs, reckon on total cloud cover at the top, full facial mud cover by the woods and absolutely zero visibility before starwars.  Wicked.  Like Sam says, just pretend its not wet and don't let it bother you. 

Use any spare 760mm bars as a walking stick to get back up the track after starwars when you and your bike separate in the first huge rut where Peaty 'twisted' his ankle .  They'll be some comedy moments in there for sure...

Have fun.

So you coming out to splash in the puddles Tim?
Plastic suit packed - check, swampdonkeys fitted - check, mudguard fitted - check... Sorted!
Too right i'm going! A 'bit' of mud and water never hurt anyone and adds to the fun. Anyway, it'll be lovely conditions after riding at the last Dragon race and there was no shortage of muddy grins there!

Was a good day but only managed three runs. On my third both my pads were on the metal.. Hitting starwars flat out no brakes is fun! But at the bottom i missed a corner completely and went straight tru the trees etc and came out behind some people standing there.. was a bit dangerous so called it a day

what a blinder!! couldn`t believe how much grip there was in the rain, loved every minute, probably the best time i`ve had at rheola!! first bit of proper riding on my new glory 1 and it was sweet apart from the avid brake levers sticking. washed my bike after in the waterfall and it was spotless, what more could you ask for!

pretty awesome day, Nice first track to try the new Sundsay out on properly, bit of everything, its the easiest I have ever seen star wars with that dead straigt line through the middle with barely any roots on it, shame about the brake pad consumption though!

Does anyone know whow as takin photos? if they were that might of been today at cwmcarn, I can't remember.

Rheola in the snow, 2 years ago, ace.  Very festive too.  It was like canoeing on a bike at the top.
