Merida Brass Monkeys Series 2015 - starts 15 November
by Jane Lucas, 01 Nov 15.
Entry is open for the upcoming hugely popular 3 Round Brass Monkey Series, headline sponsored by Merida and supported by a raft of other generous sponsors. The Series features some outstanding venues especially chosen for their suitability for mountain bike enduro racing on 7-8 mile laps. Each course is carefully set and prepared by our very experienced team and you can expect to go through heath and pine woodland with flowing and testing singletrack mixed in with swooping trails and stone fire roads. All you need to do is choose how long you want to ride for, and then do as many laps as you can in that time, including finishing the lap that you are on when your time is up.
