Received an email a week or 10 days before the event telling me that I would not be able to park at the venue for cross country, but that spectators would be shuttled from the Albion Hills Conservation area to the venue, Will O' Wind Farms.
Left myself lots of time to gt to the parking spot, be shuttled and probably catch the first rider at 11....only to be met at the gate of the Conservation Area by someone telling me that we'd been emailed incorrect parking instructions and that in fact, yes, there was parking at the venue itself. We were handed new driving instructions to get there, at least another 20 minutes, perhaps longer with the traffic volume. The volume of folks doing the same thing meant we arrived late of course.
VERY disappointing and also surprising for an event of the caliber to make such a gross error. Still enjoyed the event itself of course. Nicely laid out and well organized at the venue.
