Im in, this will be my first Nations. Bought the early bird tickets as soon as they were available and decided on Camping, so hoping it stays dry!
I was responding to a post where it was said a new manager would change things and have the riders prepare for the event . I was trying to say in my response there is no time to change the way they prep unless you pulled them out of the Nationals which just so happens to be what they are paid to do.
