Find map here: http://www.xc.lv/mtb/forums/viewtopic.p ... 975#p42975
Recomendations:
Have a backup team with you. Its important, when you are really tired, to have someone that helps you with bike repairs etc.
Take a real XC tyres with you. Track is narrow and windy. "Slicks" will be bad choice.
If you have, take some tent, unfortunately, we cant manage tents for all competitors.
Take a good lights. Best combination is lights on helmet and on handlebar too.
Take with you everything, what you suggest, can help you. Better something more than less.
P.S. There can be rain in weekend...
See you!
