I just booked 26th August, open pitlane.

MTB, christ you'd have been better booking the fast group, novice will be a bit painful if it's full

Thinking of booking up for full day on the 1st of September Monday.
Anyone interested
Open pit
Reverse.
I'm only going to book up if weather is to be decent too much hassle to get my wets taken up.

Hi all.

Quick question, is there still a petrol station in Kelty?

I know there used to be a pokey little one on the Great North road (B996)...is it still there?

There is but it's a pain to get to. We take up a couple of 20 litre cans.

don't bother.

the problem with these open sessions they do is there is too much of a gulf. Some are lapping 1m20s others 53 seconds, it just doesn't work.

I'd be there but sadly, Falkirk v Cowdenbeath is on at the same time.
