I rode the course this evening and they have resurfaced a few poor bits since I was last on it (albeit not racing, just transferring from RAB to start as a marshal). Generally good surface throughout and traffic was considerate at 8pm.
Btw it was a quick evening, Chris Fennell did a 17.40.
Won't the E2 still close at something not far above 20:00? If not I am out of touch!
