Pollen's in the air

...everywhere I look around.
Yep after a very warm sunny weekend, and some decent breezes there is a stack load of pollen around these parts. Being a pine plantation, Bottle Lake Forest Park produces massive yellow clouds of pollen, it covers everything, like the car bonnet in the picture here. 

If it's a little damp on race day, pollen shouldn't be a problem but if it's dry it'll be floating around and if you're an asthmatic PLEASE BRING YOUR INHALER. OK, that's all I'll say about that.

The start/finish banner is being printing today, which I'm looking forward to getting my hands on. Feels like it's all official when you've got the start/finish line sorted. Entries are coming in thick and fast too, so if you're still deciding, make haste! Don't miss out.
