The course is looking great for Round 2! Last night’s bit of rain did a perfect job of settling the dust and making conditions ideal.
Unfortunately, we did have a minor setback — four people on MX bikes came through and damaged some of the signage, snapping stakes and tearing banners as they rode through. If you happen to know who they are, please let us know — we’d really appreciate it.

The MTB east posters are up at Betteshanger Park to promote MTB east Round 3 - Betteshanger Kent and MTB east Round 8 - Betteshanger Kent, The idea is to bring back mountain bike racing to the venue and promote cycling in the area. Banners will also be going up soon.
U7/9/12 Series prize giving will be at 10:30, parents you have time to do a lap before we hand out the awards.
We would like all of the helmet tags back, you can keep the number boards. Hand them in after the U7/9/12 prize-giving in exchange for one of these sweet treats. Please check with parents/guardians if it's okay. Entries close at midnight Wednesday, Whoop Whoop, last time I have to say that this year!
The course will as usual switch in direction from round 5, so both of the A/B lines are going up. The photos are from the A/B line near the start, the A-line remains almost the same (there is a slightly easier run-in) The B line is completely different, it's now on the left-hand side of the A-line and is longer and feeds back in at the top of the hill. The A/B line in the middle of the course is almost identical just reversed. The A-line has an easier step to the left of the jump at the top of the hill, The B-line has been made longer to make the A-line the quickest track. A few other alterations on the course to make the course flow better run in this direction. We built another new bridge today so you do not get your tyres muddy! also lots of strimming, everything is growing like crazy!
I was over the woods on my own today and with nobody to keep me on track, I started creating new trails!
