I really don't know much more than that, but it usually boils down to land use negotiations. That is the biggest issue when it comes to organizing races, even if it is Urban. No one ever wants to commit to anything, thus prob the down low.

Hey bud, I'm keen to ride, you gonna be able to? I there is a frame available for R1000 excl shock, R1500 incl shock. The Raleigh RDH 7.0 / Azonic Eliminator Downhill Frame

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

In! Gonna use the new whip. I think it's only fair to her....and it'll suit the track!

[Smiles]

flip i hope its not that weekend - it's the weekend before my final exam

[LazyTrailRider]

I'd be keen to check it out, even if it means really slow and careful riding!

[Guest Omega Man]

Aparently it's gonna be more or less the same route as the 2009 one when the athertons were here. It's down that fire road and then through the school.

 

The old route down the stairs is KAAAK dangerous and traffic bacon have to be employed to watch the road crossings.

Ah man!

 

I think I need to think about a trip o CT next month.

 

Got the bike (think I'll go with the 4X bike over the DH bike)

Got the body armour

Dunno about the kahonas... but I've always wanted to try an Urban Assault

 

Now just to get my A into G.

Patches, what knee and elbow pads do you guys suggest for AM riding? I seriously need to start invest in something like that. Don't want something that's too bulky though. Just enough protection should the odd tree, rock etc jump in your way!
