Lioness Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Took my friend 3 and a half hours to get from Greenock to her dads in Falkirk because of the flooding, weather and road closures. Usually takes 45 minutes. Track staff will have their work cut out to get the track ready for tomorrow night I reckon, no way it would be rideable today. for whoever it was coming up anyway, it’s the tattie howkin holiday up here this week so places should be open ok. Might be full of kids tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually takes 45 minutes. Expand 45 mins from Greenock to Falkirk is some going! Possible to do in 45 mins when its quiet and no traffic but never at peak time when it would be more like double that - M8 across Kingston Bridge could take an hour on its own at peak time, the same for the M80 which is a car park at rush hour peak time, or a car park at anytime when there's an accident or a breakdown and tailbacks for miles, been there done that.

He probably didn’t want the season to end and the strives he has made is clear to see. Certainly one of the first names on 2024 team sheet. His loss will be noticeable and it’s likely he will miss the second leg as well. Expand The problem is, there's no rider Poole wouldn't want back imo. Probably all the riders keen to return too. Depending on the points limit, there's gonna at least one disappointed rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they find out quickly. With all the wet weather over the last few days I was surprised to read yesterday that the track was holding up well. At least the call off stops the riders from travelling too far. A dry day today and tomorrow should give riders the chance to race rather than ride.

Expand From what I've seen there was extensive flooding in parts of Glasgow too. Certainly saw pictures of Pollok and Shawlands. OK they're southside but when you consider the video posted of the track on Sat saying everything was OK then its gets called off nothing can be assured with Scottish weather 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
