pierremerv Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I had the pleasure of doing a couple of runs down the full world cup course on Sunday with Nigel Hicks and a couple of the local Pmb guys. I'm new to the dh scene so found some sections very hairy especially the top but all very very good. Will be seeing a lot more of me there. Very good job done there by Nigel and his crew. Can't wait to see the wc guys go down there.
