A50 was open, but two stretches of chippings, Goughts lane south for about a mile. Another section south of the whipping stocks for about a mile. Was safe enough to ride at speed if you stayed out of the gutter (it was pretty deep for about half a meter near the gutter) and stuck to car tracks, it was nothing like Mereside. Not ideal, but IMO plenty safe to ride on, was more concerned about dust from cars passing and my tubs getting cut up (which I forgot to check being in a lot of pain at the end, job for this afternoon that) than anything else tbh! They had a big sweeper out on the course clearing it up a bit, I overtook it on my 1st lap, on the 2nd lap it was coming back the other way.
100TT will however be more affected as there will be temp lights somewhere, going up a day or 2 before. Organiser has this in hand though, saw him yesterday!
A535, pretty good atm. Goughts lane is much better than Seven Sisters and Tremlow, well it's the same as always, bit bendy and some ruts on the left, but mostly no surprises! Of course I have the benefit of knowing the roads inside out since I race there every weekend.
