I was on the course yesterday and it's crunchy light snow, hard ground, tiny bit slippy in places quite runable in trail shoes, you will need the grip. The weather today has dipped a little, it was nice running the roads this morning but this afternoon it's gotten real cold and dank. I have noticed the weather for Tues says snow, that's disappointing. We are running the course for a safety check in the morning and the safety officer will make a decision at 6pm tomorrow night so please keep your eye on the website and John Schofield. The roads around ripon are fine at present so I can't imagine you'll have a problem. We'll see what Tues brings.
