Preview: Autumn Classic XC Races
by Jane Lucas, 11 Oct 09.
After a busy summer, our final two XC events of the year are fast approaching. First up is our return to the very popular Tunnel Hill venue at Pirbright, Surrey on SUNDAY 18 OCTOBER. After that we complete the season at Crowthorne Wood, the home of Gorrick, on SUNDAY 8 NOVEMBER. Racing starts at 9.30 for the under 16's and Beginners, followed by the over 30's at 10.30, while from 11.30 there are separate races for different abilities.
For the Autumn we have added a 4 lap Veterans race and a 2 lap Grand Veteran Female category. These races are not a Series, so why not push yourself and give the next category up a go? If you've never raced, it's not too late to try, so why not enter the Beginner or Fun categories? As usual there will be full facilities and a warm welcome.
For added interest the Tunnel Hill Trolls will be holding a handicap sprint race in the afternoon at Classic 1 and Berks on Bikes will be holding theirs in the afternoon of Classic 2 which is always good fun.
Don't forget you can pre-enter online until the evening of the Tuesday before each event, thereby saving yourself the extra charge on the day and any queuing - but please remember to bring along your MBSA receipt if you do. Otherwise, as with all our events, you can always enter on the day. Full details on the website as detailed below. We look forward to seeing you there!
