Really looking forward to this however :roll:

We've got a possible 20+mm of rain coming this week, how's the track looking? Will it hold up if we get a downpour. I know the drainage recently put in will help but did the new surface material bed down or will it go boggy again?

Nathan

I'm confident that it should hold up though no promises (we still have some work to do on the track), but it wouldn't be a race at the Lea without some rain/controversy eh..?

Paul (and everybody else who has asked)

Sorry, the track remains closed at this stage except for official ride/race days (rest assured we are working towards a solution which will be better for everyone).

Cheers Matt.

Thought I'd ask here as I figured there would be a bunch of others wondering.

Thanks Matt,

We'll I've ordered the swampthings and upped my insurance so let's hope the rain doesn't hit too hard.

You might also want to bring a rain coat and a few extra spokes.....
