There is a definite tone to some of the posts they are putting out which are definite not “100% going ahead no matter what” tones.. I wonder if they will extend the cut off times as a minimum as it doesn’t sound runnable at all in many places ? The problem they will start to have if they extend the cut-offs too much is that they are likely to have a bigger overlap between the Challengers and the actual Spine race. Given that some of the CPs don't really have that much capacity that could then give them space problems. Plus their logistics rely on closing CPs and moving staff up the course. Start keeping them open longer and everything starts to get stretched. Since they increased the number of races the whole logistics side has always looked very tight. It would be interesting to see how flexible it is. |

Once we're through to Sunday afternoon though the weather is looking a lot more friendly, at the moment. Doesn't mean it'll be any better underfoot though!

Didn't they miss out a section due to ice a couple of years back, just ran a shuttle bus round the most dangerous bit?
