Spring Series Round 5
The Final Round of our XC Spring Series sponsored by Exodus is next Sunday 20 April at Porridgepot Hill, Deepcut, Camberley, Surrey - that's the one with the great natural arena for the Start Area. There have been huge turnouts for the first four Rounds, with some great racing assured with many Series positions far from settled. We'll be giving out some terrific prizes to our Series winners (3 Rounds to count) courtesy of our brilliant local bike shops and there will also be a chance to win a fantastic mountain bike holiday in our rider prize draw. You will automatically be entered in it (if you are over 18) just for turning up to ride. The course has been freshly tweaked from last year, and there will be plenty of trade stands to keep you occupied while you're waiting for the final Series positions to be announced. You can pre-enter online or by post from now until Tuesday 15th, but entries will, as always, be available on the day.



Gore Bike Wear 100 Enduro Challenge - supporting Heart UK
Our Spring Enduro, follows hot on the heels of the Spring Series on Sunday 4th May at Swinley Forest, Rapley Farm, Bracknell Road, Bagshot, Surrey. For some years it has been the South's premier Enduro event and it has a unique flavour all of its own. You choose the number of 10 mile laps that you are going to go for, and that is your challenge. Do you race or pace? Just complete the course or compete against your fellow rider? It's so much more than a marked ride around the countryside, and you receive a finishers medal if you complete the challenge you set yourself! This year the Enduro is again generously sponsored by Gore Bike Wear, who will be providing some fantastic pieces of kit as prizes in all categories, as well as displaying their range of clothing and some kit to try on. As usual, there will also be lots of other trade stands to wander around, massage therapists on hand to loosen up leg muscles and ease cramps and all the usual facilities. We've already had lots of pre-entries, and you can pre-enter online or by post until Tuesday 29th April.
