I'm entered in for this, it was hard not to!

Props to the organizers, the set up sounds brilliant, and a lot of thought and planning must have gone in to it. And the unique race format etc is a nice change from the usual.
I don't think anything can go wrong with the weekend by the sounds of it!  Cheesy
Really looking forward to it!

Although the 'armour is compulsory for under 18's' rule is a bit of a bummer. I don't wear armour at the moment, bit like Sam Hill  Wink Cheesy, but I guess its for the best.

Any other hardtailers entered in?

On the saturday practice will there be marshalls on both tracks...HuhHuh

No Marshals on sat at all but the likely format will be 1 track open at once - say in either 2 hour slots or 4 hours slots.

As the organiser I don't have to have marshals on the sat but I do have a duty of care and this will be closing one track off at a time....

Its just a puzzled think...

As i never wear (upper) armour, it could be a bit of a bugger...

BUT, it is a good idea, but alot of people don't have full armour...

makes sense to me to wear armer.

reduces risk of injury, meaning less chance of someone needing major attention, meaning the runs wont be delayed or cancelled.

I very rarely wear it to be honest.  the only time I tend to is when Im racing.

The armour rule is only for those under 18.
Which will apply to about 70% entering Cheesy .

are you sure about this whole no marshals thing on saturday, seems very dangerous, for all riders and also with the road crossing timing riders and tractors can be a very dodgy thing if ni organised properly

I think on the practice day, this is my opinion ( not that of Borderline events) We'd have 3 marshals on track, just to keep practice running smooth. Then probably a few designated riding marshals, Going down last of every tractor load, To make sure nobody dies to badly. Aswell as insuring the uplifts are loaded properly. I think that would work quite well.

But Moelfre is pretty open track, So it's easy to keep an eye out.

im looking forwards to this ...

from expericance races that ive been to that have had marshals on both days have run smoother . but as you say moelfre is open and you will be able to watch most off it .
