See told you we would have a great time! Cant wait for next year, bring on those XC jumps xx

I'm going. Have been back in the saddle for a year after a 20 year break. You will be in good company, you certainly wont be the only novice, dont worry !!!! Going with a friend who has been lots of times, she says we will hve a fab time.

I do a worm count every 3 months (use Westgate Labs, who I cannot recommend highly enough) had a negative count each time for the past 4 counts, since I started using them, so just worm in September for tapeworm and another worm (which I cant remember the name of). I dont see the point of...
