Wine Legs Aug 2010 9:49pm, 27 Aug 2010 1,031 posts	Wine Legs Yeah, it's obviously something you prepare massively for, build up to and look forward to hugely. For some, it is their race of the year. For others (e.g. Binks) it was part of their massive achievement for 2010... So, as I know it now... yes, everyone is safe - no one was caught in the mudslide. But the weather is atrocious and the mudslide has removed part of the trail. I believe the event is now cancelled. Finished. Still unsure of TDS. CCC seems to be continuing There's apparently a press conference in an hour. Binks is running back to the start with Drew Shef, apparently... this is all I know for now. More news when I have it.
