awsome weekend, dried out alot but i am so F'ing p**ssed right now.

first run, caught up with someone at the begining of the secong open section on a pinned run, shouted rider loads, he eventually pulled over at the tigh root corner before the last switchbacks.  Angry  Angry  Angry

second run, blew out the corner after the road gap. on an O.K. run, but lost too much time faffing around triing to get back on the track.

Fantastic weekend, and a fantastic track.  Most fun I've had on my bike all year I think, maybe even including Bala dare I say it! :-O

Not the steepest course in the world by any means, but possibly the most fun.  Contrary to popular belief you don't need a steep track for it to be a fun/good track, in fact invariably the converse is true, it seems to me.

ben, you didn't get that bad of a result, considering how many really good riders were there.

Yep, squeezed in 8 runs on saturday and 6 on sunday (4 practice + 2 race).  Could have easily done 10 on Saturday if we'd tried! (Missed first uplifts, had a drink in between every run, and stopped early).

Pearce  races will sell out quicker than ever next year.
