Even if it pours down, as long as you get an hours relief before the event the track will be fine. That ground drains really fast. That's why I put the track where it is Jane. Even if the bottom of the field is a guagmire the track will work.
Think that is a first Tim. We have never had to cancel a track event before. Must have been a real downpour. Sorry for everyone and hope it goes well on Thursday. good racing everyone.
Tim - the Ashwell youngsters (years 5 & 6) will be away this week on a school trip and others are heading up to Yorkshire/County Durham for the TDF so may it be better to hold the event the next week? It gives more opportunity for communicating with parents/kids and more opportunity for tying up with a BBQ etc.
Away on business, so can't joint you this time (Although just 1 more 'crisis' at Hd Office could mean I'm back in Cambridge tomorrow. So there's a slim chance I might get to Small Gains after all. Every cloud ... )
That was more like it! Glorious sunshine. Thanks to all who organised and ran the event, and well done all who raced. I wimped out and was pleased I did when I saw some of the faces during the senior devil. Alex really enjoyed the freewheel racing.
A great evening enjoyed by all the family. I even managed a few laps myself. Many thanks to all the organisers. Vince disappointed you wimped out of the last race.

Thanks everyone for coming it was a great, well supported evening. In all the chaos i failed to get any good snaps, has anyone got some they could post?
Lovely evening out, apart from the pain of course, thanks to all who took part and specially those who helped organise. Special thanks to Tim for the recovery beverage!
