I am driving down from Rocky and really don't want another repeat of 06 States, last years State Round and this years Illinbah Round ha! All 3 have been rained out on me!

This forecast here says only 1mm each day. So I hope that is all it is.

If it's possible can someone give us an update on the weather tomorrow night? The forecasts are constantly changing and it's hard to tell what the weather will be like.

Me and a mate are coming down and can't wait, it should be awesome.

Thanks.

Agreed. I've been checking it quite often and each time I check it, it is different.

At the moment they got 2mm predicted for Saturday and 1mm for Sunday. How much rain is that exactly? Surely not enough to postpone a MTB Race..?

It would be great to get that much actually.
Takes a fair bit of rain (15mm??) to close the race, the only reason why we close is if we cannot get vehicle (ambulance) access to the track.

FWIW it doen't even look close to raining at the moment, and the forecast on the local news said no rain. Might be the first time ever we run the race without being rained out

Thanks Mr Plow. I hope what you have said is correct! Fully pumped for this race. See you Sunday!
