I'll hopefully see you there then Glen 

I'm gonna take a walk down there in the next day or two to take photos of the track ... I'll get them posted up as soon as I can

I walked down to take a look after work yesterday and it's tucked right over the back behind the swimming baths ... kids had torn the fencing down and some twonk on an old motorbike was abusing the place and blasting dirt everywhere 

It's not that big in size tbh so I've no idea what their 22k was spent on    Fingers crossed the weather dries up tomorrow and all going well it should be a goodun what ever happens

It was hard to tell the lines cause its was incomplete    There's a nice section with some good size jumps down the bottom end and a novice section up top with various size berms, tables and whoops in the mid !! It's not a pinch on the new Hersden track though but it'll be interesting to see what the pros can demonstrate tomorrow

By the looks of it they've installed underground drainage ... I've been told the works complete now so I'm expecting to see many changes tomorrow 

Yeah, this poxy weather sucks ... typical, eh

Yep ... a proper waste of time for me too !! I got there well before noon and they seemed more interested in making the place look pretty for the cameras which delayed the kick off till way after 1pm !! The rain came down as soon as the riding started and that was lamer than a limp sausage - then they decide to cancel the pro demo altogether !! Not impressed at all
