5th BCDC, is it gonna be a 'Wet & Wild Race'?

Is BC gonna look like this?. Perhaps with the daily heavy downpour in the evening, it could be. Get yer' spikes out, Wetscream, K.O.T, Black Turtle, Muddy Mary, Don't let it rot in the closet. Imagine 100-150 riders riding it, torture it, braking or skidding, kissing the earth, the last man down gonna descend in the worst condition. He will be hailed as King of BC.The new rock section will be the most popular place for spectators. Its rocky, sharp edge, loose and slippery. Just hold on to the bars mate....!

My 2010 first ride took place at the legendary-much loved Cilegon track. After 4 times riding SEBEX back to back, it felt nice to hit cilegon dirt again. I was prepared for a muddy ride and brought a pair of mud tires - but it happened to be perfectly dry and grippy. A bit sad to see the step-up planks, bridge-crossing the drain were stolen...
