Mainly dry.

The weather seems to have calmed a little, so things at the Hill should be running very nicely over the weekend. Warm temperatures and dry trails mean that there really is no excuse not to get some practice in for the Eastern and Central Champs (and yes - entry will be opening very soon)!

Have a good one!

Looking drier after a wet week.

It’s been a wet week, but warm temps have kept things nearly decent. Other than a few showers on Saturday it’s looking pretty warm and dry, with Sunday even showing signs that you’ll be susceptible to a spot of sunburn! Consequently it’s looking like the better day, especially if Saturday stays dry.

It has been wet though, so don’t forget that armour and definitely leave the semi-slick tyres at home!

Don’t forget it’s the national champs this weekend too. It’s on an exceptionally difficult track at Llangollen - expect some good stories!

We haven’t had one for a while, so here’s a tune of the week for you. Great Expectations? Definitely.

Mixed up. Again.

It’s looking equally mixed again after a predominantly dry week, which means will mean interesting conditions. Bring your armour and prepare for some sliding action!

All mixed up, don’t know what to do…

It’s been a mixed week and the weekend is looking equally mixed. Except greasy patches in covered sections and after rain, but wear the wind and sun can get to the Hill it should dry pretty quickly. Good tyres, flats, armour and getting yo’ drift on is the order of the day.

It’s the Megavalanche this weekend with some Hillbilly raggers racing it - expect loads of GoPro headcam action appearing on Vimeo. There’s also a group of Hillbillies hitting up Morzine too - have a great one guys!

Warm. That is all.

Apologies for the late forecast, but after a fairly dry week it’s looking great. Conditions should be predominantly dry, with maybe a few lingering wet patches under the trees from Tuesday’s rain. What more do you need to know? Go to it!
