British mtb champs, Cathkin 16-17 July

It's the British mtb champs this coming weekend at Cathkin.

Weather permitting, I'll be heading up to watch, anyone else?

It's the British Cross Country mtb champs this coming weekend at Cathkin.

Right?

Pisses me off that tax payers money goes into building these venues then the Council does sod all to promote any events, should be advertised all over to get the crowds in and get the maximum public benefit.

Kids permitting, I might come up too.

should be advertised all over to get the crowds in and get the maximum public benefit.

Yeah. XC is a difficult sell though.

Even to those who do it

The general public don't know that though - its just a day out, especially if its dry.

Tru dat

talking of which...

School holidays so the council should be promoting it better, it's a great day out for kids, and hopefully it would in turn get more people into bikes.

I suppose you can't really expect too much of the council when the event organisers themselves are doing such shite jobs of promoting it.

devils advocate: watching XC is a crap day out.

Discuss.

Beers in the sun (hence the weather dependency) and seatpost length based heckling = great day out.

If the council were the organiser/promotor youse would have a point.

Shite public transport links there.
