Anyone who is in the area please come watch on Sunday.

 

Andrew won't be the only fast guy there. Pottie, Garlicke and Sam Bull will all be in attendance. Watching the fast boys is very special.

Sounds like a Saturday well spent

Any idea what time would be best to pop around?

I'm working most of weekend but can shave some time for attending.

Come check out the XC as well. Should be a good day out with some big names in attendance.

Course preview with DUUURAAAN and Pottie. They've changed the track up AGAIN so anyone who thinks they have an advantage from doing the Provincial. Erm.... Yeah.

Nice seeing them try and do a track preview video. They should maybe watch some of claudio's track preview videos and take a hint or two from that. The sun not playing along but maybe a comment or two would have made that video awesome.
