3.2.1,,,,lets hear the moans about the goodie bad and expo.

Goodie bad? Preempting there?

The obsession with wind continues

 

Seems like the predicted wind speeds are coming down a bit. Nowhere near a completely calm day yet, but anything close to 10km/h should make the day bearable.

 

Think the backmarkers need some wind just to keep the temperatures in check on the day. Very little cloud cover around noon means some serious challenges for everyone starting after 8AM.

[PingPong]

Heads up, number collection still very quiet so two seconds to collect. Expo is the usual rip off. Every day same prices just that most suppliers/stores are in one place to take your cash. First assent shorts cheaper at sportsman's if you use vitality discount

Nice little headwind for the M1 section. It could be much worse though.

Suppliers have to pay to be there and it's not cheap.  I know of one event where over a two day expo they were told to provide there own overnight security or take their stock out!  No excuses about pricing but I wouldn't bother to be an exhibitor.
