HMBA Patterson 3 hr race
Wanting to do this race on Sunday and was wondering if anyone closer to Singleton could give a first hand report on the rainfall they have had there in the past few days. This looks fairly promising compared to the CC and Sydney:

We have had a bit of rain but nothing like on the coast. No rain in the last 12hrs or so in singo or at ravensworth. It is predicted that we will get more.
We're they raceing ? I thought Patterson so how the weather there is it looking good for sunday
Sorry, I didn't really know where the track was. I assumed from the NobMob Database that it was at Singleton, but on further inspection, it appears to be at Boulton Rd, Paterson. If I'm wrong, can someone please reply and tell me where to go?
Anyone near Paterson know what the weather has been like? Maitland had about 30mm this week.
Paterson is where it's at and the weather has been fine since Thursday. Should be a good race.
My bike is still in the shop.
I won't be there.
It's ready to go - I just couldn't pick it up. Enjoy Paterson. I've heard it's great.
I'm out too as my wife is 40 weeks and 2 days pregnant... It would cost me a life time of leave passes if she went into labour and I was out riding my bike

Can't say I enjoyed this race or venue sorry.
Conditions were not that great with the track not being used for 12 months and the rain that was had there during the week. It is a tough track, even tougher when they do the full loop. The sections through the paddocks were the worst in my opinion, having to flog yourself to get moving on a section where you should've been flying. I had a shocker on my first lap with a sidewall cut once I got to the top of the firetrail, ended up a 55min lap. Was going to pull the pin but ended up doing 5 laps.
Hopefully it doesn't get any more rain on it before the 24hr. Otherwise, it is going to be pretty crap after about 6hrs.
Results are now on the HMBA front page.
