Poo sorry to hear your son wasn't well.

You prepped for the race & did everything you could to be ready. YOu have dedication and are aware that things can go wrong before & on the day.

How far away is the next nearest trail? Can you use the trail at night?

If it makes you feel any better, most of the trails outside the Perth metro are at least 1hr drive away. I understand what it's like to have to spend up to 2hrs or more driving to bike 2hrs on sweet sweeet singletrack. For the next month, we're driving 1 1/2 hrs to practice a course for two events.

Here's hoping everything runs smoothly for your next event
