Don't bother. Soooo much rain.

I'm predicting another 'test day' fiasco this coming Saturday similar to the Glenrock/Specailized event.

Do you have more information?

If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.
Please do not post comments with such information - post a new update with the link above.

I wonder if the XC race will be cancelled this Sunday?

I was hoping to race this Sunday too, lets hope for some sunny days this week.

Not sure a few days of sun will be good enough. More rain forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday. Whilst the track drains relatively well, veggie patch and salad bowl will be a mess for a few weeks Sad

Keeping my fingers crossed but I'm also not getting my hopes up

Maybe 5-8 Yellow Loop laps? That seems to drain the best.

The XC co-ordinator this morning advises that he's confident we'll be racing this coming Sunday. Keep an eye on the HMBA website for updates.

Spoke to the club today (Mark Welsh) and at this stage event will be on still this Saturday. Track is in good condition with some wet area's.

Come along and join in and ride some amazing bikes.

At this stage we will make a call on Thursday night in line with what the club recommends.

Unfortunately we are going to have to cancel this event due to the rain and the forecast. New date will be set shortly so stayed tuned.

Are you talking about the demo day on Saturday or the club race on Sunday?

Lenny_GTA's picture

That would be the demo day.

So there's a chance it'll (XC Race on Sunday) still happen then Smiling fingers crossed... What the heck, I'll cross my toes too Eye-wink

As mentioned the DEMO day scheduled for Saturday. Hopefully the club race will be okay.

Has anyone checked the track regarding the condition?

I can usually judge the 'Yellow loop' by how my backyard is.

My back yard isn't quite dry yet. Sad

As for the rainforest section/vege patch? That'll need a few more days at least. I just hope the potential rain for tomorrow disappears.

Based on sundays condition, and the relatively good weather we have had over the 3 days, I would say it will be good to ride tomorrow.

there maybe a few boggy bits after the shute on the blue and red loops but it shoudnt be too bad.
