scorpa3 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 The RV will be held at the Warren near Shennington. Alan Wright is Clerk of the Course and will be setting out 20 sections all with three routes. The event is a MIdland Centre Championship round, so expect things onthe A & B routes to be pretty tough, especially considering the wet weather that is forcast for the rest of this week. At least the 6ft concrete wall section in the disused filter beds at the bottom of the venue doesn't get any harder when it's wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickmetcalfe Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 good entry of 80+ riders - mostly on the B route. I'm 5 miles down the road and it is absolutely chucking it down so grip is going to be a rare thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Did anyone ride the RV today, I do hope that you've dried out by now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickmetcalfe Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I know its normally muddy there but it seemed much worse than usual!! The 3 Alans (Wright, Newman and Taylor) had done a sensible job with the 20 sections and even though it rained during the day, everything remained ridable. One or two suffered because the markers quickly got ridden into the mud and were not replaced. I have no idea as to who was going well but the scores may not be as high as you might expect. One thing though - why dont mudguards work on modern bikes, particularly on the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
