Merida Brass Monkeys R3 Frimley Green - Results and Photographs

Finally, a proper Brassy Monkey, with a light dusting of snow. The long awaited New Year Hangover race finally took place at "Area 51", a new venue thanks to a local landowner. The trail building team had done an amazing job readying a course that although it only measured 4.5 miles was suitably challenging and average speeds were somewhat slower than usual. There was so much fun flowing singletrack that really kept you on your toes. As sections bedded in some just got better and others just got slippery with 100's of tyres and gradual snow melt.
All the final Series podium presentations were made and we'll have a full list of winners to follow soon. Our grateful thanks as ever to Merida Bikes for the wealth of prizes, Four4th Lights for the trophies, and all the other sponsors for making these events happen. Later in the week the final series points will be published so see how you fared overall. Kevin Sheldrakes photos are now online. Thanks to all the riders for supporting the Brass Monkeys, because without you crazy fools it wouldn't happen. See you on the 7th February for Round 1 of the Spring Series, entry is open.
