Our final XC event of the year is on SUNDAY 10 NOVEMBER at Crowthorne Wood, Crowthorne, Berkshire. The event is headline sponsored by Endura well known makers of well designed cycling clothing, and they will again be providing some great category winner and spot prizes.
Racing starts at 9.00am and there are categories for riders of all ages and abilities, including Beginner and Fun categories for those new to racing and also children’s categories from age 8 upwards. As usual you can expect a superb course, full facilities and a warm welcome. For added interest Berks on Bikes will be holding their handicap sprint race in the afternoon too, and that is always fun to watch.
