Merida Brass Monkeys R2 Frith Hill - Results & Photographs
by Paul Howard, 13 Dec 15. Results [ 1» ] Photos [ 1» ]
The final event of the year went out with a festive flurry as 100's of riders took to the sinuous trails around Frith Hill. The course building team had promised a great course with "very little climbing", which was kind of true, just every up was a short sharp shock, thankfully the descents that followed were longer and entertaining. But hats off to them they uncovered plenty of old trails to assemble a course that even the locals wouldn't know where they were at times. Trail conditions were for the time of year just slippery enough to have fun on and in places virtually powdery in the loam, I'm sure that can't be said of many venues during winter weather.
Full lap times and results can be accessed from the links above and Kevin Sheldrakes photographs will follow soon. Gorrick was pleased to welcome aboard new sponsor James White Drinks who provided podium prizes of their Beet It Sport drinks and bars.
Brass Monkeys Round 3 on Sunday 3rd January is where all the deciding points can be won to achieve a Series Finishing position. The series points from round 2 will be published later this week so you can see how you fare. From all the Gorrick, Brass Monkey and Army CU organising teams we wish you a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.
