I'm not a downhill junkie, but you can take a look at the video of the main black route (not sure if this weekend's route will be identical).
Conditions are very dry and dusty

I Had a great time. A huge thanks to Chris Nixon, Rob and all those that helped out. Without these people there would be no DH races in the cape.
