Description

Loose and dry are words being used ad nauseam this week at Fort William, but those two adjectives describe why it's been so fun so far. Riders sampled the extremely rugged course today in order to prepare for Saturday's qualifying action. Sven, Duncan and @maddogboris clicked off some bangers in between hillside coffee breaks under blue skies.
