Now that the XC season is drawing to a close and the weather’s getting colder, there’s only one thought in our heads BRASS MONKEYS!

So Gorrick and the Army, supported by Merida bring you the MERIDA Brass Monkeys Series 2010. You can expect some outstanding courses carefully sorted for Enduro racing. Whether you are a sprinter or a slogger, a good strategy, careful pacing and a little pre-event preparation will always give you a satisfying result, so race to win or race to finish, either way any level of rider, regardless of fitness, can enjoy these events. There are both 4 hour and 2 hour age related time slots to choose from over a 7-8 mile laps. There’s a 1 hour Fun event as well. It's a Series so all rounds will count and there will be a Podium presentation of trophies on the day as well as the Series presentations at the last round.
