oi you
Yup, I'll be there. We're just getting our club entry together now.

It's at Parliament Hill, isn't it? I did the Southern Champs there earlier this year - not quite as muddy as Alton Towers, but muddy enough, and absolutely bone-chillingly cold.
Target is Not Last!

At Falkirk. Aye, that'll be the culmination of my XC season. Doing the east league, east champs, and national :)

I'm enjoying the XC leagues but the Nationals sound a little too serious for me this year. I'm giving it another year before trying it myself. I'll be there supporting my clubmates and any passing Fetchies who make themselves known.

What? Alf Tupper is a Scot! I don't believe it. ;-)
Oh well - so it's a "no" from me then. I'll not be in Falkirk to race the XC.

I'll still be on the sidelines. I need to feel better about myself before I attempt anything with National in the title. National Tyre Services excepted.

I'll be at Nationals too but Parliament Hill not Falkirk. Top 200 is a reasonable aim. Last year I was DNS as my kids were just too cold after their races in the Alton Towers mud and sleet.

And your post race fuelling? Although I thought it was more deep fried mars bar north of the border ;).
