Props to all the clubs, volunteers, organizers and racers for making the Island series what it is!

I think you know what I mean. I guess you should have raced if it "didn't rain that much"

Being serious for a minute - I haven't ridden enough and the result of injury from a crash (i.e. fucking my back) isn't worth the risk.

and I'm glad I didn't have to race in the rain!

Weather looks really good for this coming weekend.

Arrowsmith MTB Club hosts the first of back to back weekends with the DH this Sunday May 22nd.

Thanks to the landowners we're able to have the race. As of about a month ago, there was no more road and no more DH.

We only have gate access on the Sunday for the race so any pre-race course inspection will be self propelled only.

See you Sunday!

See you Sunday!

Some cool buffing of the course since my ride there last week
Lots of people out "self propelling" today :lol:

Unlike Port last weekend, I'm not expecting a rainfall and flood of biblical proportions (unless of course the rapture actually kicks in)

Rapture could still come tomorrow!?!?

See you at 9

Major crash in expert class. Healing vibes.

Anyone know the outcome?

Expert Men:

1.Beeston
2. K. McDowell
3. Vince Bouwsema.

Derek (the buddy who crashed hard) is at NRGH for observation/x-rays/etc.

Healing Vibes to him.

Leatt brace 2. Ground 0.

Rider was responsive and safely transported to hospital. Thanks for all the volunteers who came to his aid.

Have to say two major crashes could have been much worse were it not for both riders wearing a Leatt Brace.

vibes to that guy in expert, did not sound good! Fun race though, glad I squeezed it in with a camping trip haha

Quick update: derek's outta the hospital and on his way home. He's sore but everything checked out fine
