Visited Latvia for the first time this year to check what Carnikava XCO is about. Spin few laps, one of them tempo (from 2:30), with commentary as I went through.
Let me know what you think about this one – race on Sunday for 6 laps.

guess what ex your course review with vult media raw Garden keep in mind that underneath there are sand but until then there is still a bit of road to travel around 7 km to the start if you consider to visit EXO of caravas or not well there are nice views there as well so we approaching first lap I’ll fix the Cy cover hey they act like guess I got to hit them with a update I’ve been getting to it when I’m up late hit a when you went the front gate guess I got to hit him with the upate really with it I ain’t got a pum F killer FL and hit with the one tap guess I got to hit him with the update okay I’ve been getting to it when I’m up late hit a when you at the front gate guess I got to hit with the up got with tell me what’s to them boys I know they a about me the D for the feature I know they ain’t talking about free sh no li no leap I ain’t going to lose no sleep you don’t H in this Jeep what you going to you going to reap bet I’m going to kill what I eat by the end of this beat pull up honey my tea pull up pepping your step I bet on so we Feast bet you don’t go I bet you don’t know these fre got to hit in that on key put it on baby on on God on me you not no G I be in the spot low key I’ve been at the crib probably wonder how I got key they act like guess I got to hit them with the upate I’ve been getting when I’m up late hit a when you went the front gate guess I got to hit him with the upate really with it I ain’t got a PP F kill a FL and hit with the one t like on guess I got to with the up I’m late you at the G I got with the up I ain’t got a f with the one pleas tell me what’s to these Lanes they must be out of mind all up in the face trying to hit a blunt I know he ain’t talking about M putting that work on my ground putting that in my lung I’m putting that work on her spine put a little drag on my tab long as she working that back I ain’t hurting I’m fine I bet I go right hello everyone today we are in ltia carik ex of course and take a ride with me to see what this EXO course looks like I already did two laps one easy one a bit Up Tempo checked few things and now we’ll do a bit faster ride off the course [Applause] I’m not clearing that jump for now because it seems that there’s not enough speed to do it safely so we’ll see how it [Applause] goes here is some technical section with the logs I guess it will be closed around and everyone will has pass it through it the lap is around 4 kilm 4.2 maybe if 100 20 M of elevation or so so in total we are like four to five G of some sort and few drops the climbs are definitely not the hardest here the third four chain ring oh well I have close to no problems at all except one Sandy upill which is a bit tricky [Applause] raw Garden or shall we say stone garden or show was a small two stones but it’s still nice this one I guess is the longest time well in the beginning there was also a bit of a bump up and we’re approaching very nice off camber single track a bit loose so we have to watch a pedal stroke and here I’m not sure how to address this I will show other shot but for now I will just go around now one you come down it’s nothing too crazy but it’s straight into the sand basically it’s not hard drop but it’s straight into the sand and I wonder how it will be closed on the race day so we’ll see you might even be able to roll it but keep in mind that underneath it the rest foot keep in mind that underneath there are sand very loose one so be aware this is a bit Sandy and I guess on the race day it will get even worse o [Applause] d I’m getting firsty that burger with onions didn’t help much for sure [Applause] it’s mid sand here considering our star to be second of a day I assume track conditions will be even worse in terms of how loose sand will become but but in general it’s fast- based no long climes so it’s definitely great for beginning of the season oh it was a wrong tour I’m not the first one who made it here [Applause] [Applause] oh w not exactly sure about the end of SC because the GPX which I had had additional Loop to the left but it doesn’t seem to be in the markup of the course so we will see it’s major because this section is really fast and here it’s a bit Sandy so multiply this by six and you will get what open distance participants will be riding in carik XO actually I just noticed that there is an arrow wait a second Ah that’s how the finish will look like now it’s for certain we’ll meet in Sunday in ltia carik all right so apparently after that straight you go there you do a small Loop then you go into that field and then you return back I guess that field that field will also will be technical Zone potentially I don’t know I haven’t seen markup there and on that field there’s at least nothing I could have spotted so here

Does you Garmin also beep because it disconnected from a Sensor?
That drop to sand pit doesn't look fun at all ! Good luck on Sunday
