"One thing that Alex touches on - it's hard... VERY hard, both physically and technically. I make no apologies for this as from day one of planning it was always my belief that a regional championship event should be a step up from the norm and reward the strongest, most technically proficient riders. We have tendered for a National Trophy round next year so this is a trial run for a lot of the course. Consequently the U12/U14s race is also a lot more challenging than usual. That said our Wednesday afternoon #crosskids session riders have been trialling their shortened course for the past four weeks and they love it.
Amazingly, at 8.30 this morning it was 8 degrees warmer than at the same time yesterday so the ground has softened considerably, but is still almost entirely dry and no rain is forecast for either tomorrow or Sunday so apart from the impact of the riders who turn up to ride it in the preview session tomorrow, the course as it is now is unlikely to change a whole lot before Sunday (it says here)."
