Sorry to be boring and predictable but every one seemed so gloomy last week about the chances of this event running and I wondered whether anyone had any updates?
Or just have a weekend off and drink wine (You can see what stage I have reached with regards to it all!!)
Fingers crossed the sun will shine at some stage soon!!
Spoke to folks at Grt Witchingham this morning, Wednesday, and as far as they are concerned its all fine and they will be running. They are running on the spring course which will help. As far as I understand they are adding an extra 5 pounds to cover all the work they have had to do, my phone connection kept fading in and out at that time, and I was so pleased to hear they were still running that I didn't think any more about it but now am wondering if I heard him correctly.
Having been at the areas on Sunday and had a nosy at the course I wouldn't run on it. The BE dr arenas have been hideous to ride on after not as heavy rain, the sj arena will be cut up after the first section and the xc had pools of standing water on... But the sun could still save the day!
