Mini DH Rydal. #12
Rydal ShowGround
From the highway come into Rydal, cross the train tracks and take a left before the Pub (Showground signposted.)
OK Back in the day... well, just 4 years ago really, we use to run mini DH of a Tuesday afternoon before XC and I've been wanting to start that back up as it got both sides of the the club together for a bit of fun as well as offering a bit more of a regular thing for the DH riders and a good light option for beginners.
Trails like Acid Bomb and Fordy's were modified sections of the XC loop. They weren't that steep or Technical but were a bit of fun.
.
It will be $5 for club members. $10 for non members + day license fees.
I need to keep things tight so I can make it back to the show ground for the start of XC and timed runs will start a 5pm on the dot. You will need to have at least 1 practice run prior to that. so get there early to rego and practice.
Rather than set up proper timing gates we'll try webscorer which just runs off a couple of smartphones/tablets. If there are people willing to help time that would be great. It will be the best of 2 runs and I'm willing to sit out a run to time the other.
Trying something new this week. Meet at the top of the showground, behind the sheds
Anyway it should be a bit of fun. The tester went well so it will now be weekly until we loose the light
DH helmets are compulsory Yeah yeah I know it's part of the xc loop and they ride it just as quick but because of how it's timed we have to wear full face helmets, until I can confirm how the enduro crowd get away with using open face.
Were you there and have a story to tell?
