The downhill track packed down nicely with the rain and the water troughs that formed with the heavy rain on tuesday/wednesday have been filled in and smoothed over and lots of the braking bumps were fixed this morning so the track is looking awesome.

The red is roughening up a bit and we are getting the helicopter back to get materials up to the corners up top.

There have been a few injurys in the past week so get well soon to those people, and everyone else please try to stay on and have good times!

The ‘river has fully dried up today and the downhill track is running sweet, and really fast. All the sections which were badly damaged by the rain have been fixed up and the world cup woods reopened after being quite badly affected by the rain. the new woods section from the most recent world cup is still quite wet as quite a lot of water runs in this part of the forest howeever it dries quickly and some work will be done in the drainage here, this section was reopened again this afternoon and will remain open providing it holds up well to riding in the wet.

The sign posting and marking out on the red route is now complete and a few helicopter drops off material will be happening on tuesday to sort out a few little bits before the grand opening on wednesday which should be awesome.

On another note, there is a round of the british national downhill series, the nps, here next weekend. There should be some really good riding and its definately worth getting out to watch some of the action.
