In a moment of extreme organisation I did my preride for the Dalby forest round of the British NPS 3 weeks before the event. I was joined by a few less experienced WXC team mates who I’d promised to help with riding some of the more extreme drops.
A sucessful day was had by all. I kept myself busy trying not to brake on the descents, and for girls who’ve been riding less than a year to get down Medusa’s drop with no problems is impressive, especially as we stood an watched guys on downhill bikes take the chicken run!
Afterwards we met the nice people in the Purple Mountain centre, great place for a post ride cafe stop! I then left the race bike clean, shiny and ready to roll, and jumped on a plane to Spain…
