Merida Brass Monkeys R3 - Hungry Hill Results and Photographs
by Paul Howard, 22 Jan 12. Results [ 1» ] Photos [ 1» ]
Hundreds of Brass Monkey's came out of hibernation to test their legs at the Hungry Hill finale, and what a leg tester it was with 1000ft of climbing per 8 mile lap. Split nicely with all the tough ascending first, followed by a great mix of flat trails on the top plateau, then onto the final fast downhill which is always a blast. Trail conditions were exceptional as they have been at every round, so much so that "Mild Monkeys" seems a more appropriate title. All the contenders for the overall series positions got their just rewards. Thanks to the sponsors who we are grateful for supporting the races, namely: Merida Bikes, SRAM, Kenda, For Goodness Shakes, Mule Bar, Four4th Lights, Nomad, 1st Gear Cycles. Full results and race photographs are available via the links above.
To start the XC race season proper make a date in your diary for Round 1 of the Saddle Skedaddle Spring Series starting at Tunnel Hill on the 5th February. More race preview info coming soon.
