Now that it’s getting cooler, the Brass Monkeys are breaking cover as Gorrick and the Army, supported by Merida, bring you the hugely popular MERIDA Brass Monkeys Series 2012. You can expect some established and outstanding courses carefully planned for Enduro racing. Whatever your Enduro style, 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 race groups to choose from, on a 7-8 mile lap, and we have tweaked the start times this year so that you all finish together. There’s also a 1 hour Fun category for those of you who want to try out this style of longer lap endurance racing. 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.
