For the next couple of days there is gully cleaning on the Oxton by-pass with stop/go boards. I hope this does not affect our 10 and the work is finished before the evening.
From 1 August there is re-surfacing between Epperstone and Oxton Island with a road closure. I don't know if this affects the Island itself, but we could shorten the 10 again.
I have just had 30 minutes on the phone to Notts County Council. Their call handler didn't know any more than me, but has promised to investigate and let me know.
A chance of some heavy rain tomorrow - not clear yet!
Thunderstorms a possibility tomorrow ⚡️
Yes, rain/storms possible!
I'm told any gulley cleaning will finish by 3.30 p.m. - I rode up there today and no sign of any works.
No further information regarding re-surfacing work yet.
May not be a popular option as regarded by some to be slower - but could we use Mapperley‘s course instead? Share and share alike...
We are supposed to give 6 weeks advance notification of events to the police and the CTT.
Parking is a problem unless we got permission to use Ramsdale Golf Course.
After tonight only 3 events left anyway. I've not yet had confirmation from Notts CC whether Oxton Island is free - it may be difficult anyway if it is on the edge of a road closure. A shortened course is the easy option as at least it give us an event.
Fair enough, Ed. Let’s hope the improvement works planned for Northgate island don‘t cause more significant disruption to racing if they begin as early as next year.
We may be OK as the road works have now disappeared from the website https://nottinghamshire.roadworks.org/
I've just had confirmation that, weather permitting, the re-surfacing will be on Saturday 17 August. No road closure for any 10.
There may be some loose chippings for the last 10. I'll check it on the day.
