If you practise before Friday, please be aware staff will be on stages taping out and preparing them, ride with caution and be courteous.

Medics will be onsite Friday, just as a precaution on UKGE’s part, so many of you are now arriving on Friday, we felt cover was needed.

Please remember there are fast and slow riders at these events, if you catch someone please give them an idea you are there by saying which side you intend to pass them “Rider on your left” or “Rider on your right”, if you have been caught please move over for the faster rider who has given you indication of which side they intend to pass.

Camping:

Camping at rd 1 is in a farmers field close to Great Wood camp. There is water on site, chemical toilets and of course the Billycan. The arena will be good to camp from Thursday afternoon, most facilities will be on site from the morning.

All that remains to say is have a great rd 1 and thanks to all the sponsors, marshall’s, Medics, The Billycan and anyone who makes this series amazing.

Cheers
