Brass Monkey Round 2 on 5 January - entry closing soon
by Jane Lucas, 30 Dec 19.
This year's Brass Monkeys' XC Winter Endurance Series is already underway and the course at Hungry Hill got some great feedback, for which we thank you. ROUND 2 - The New Year Hangover is Sunday 5 January at Porridge Pot, Deepcut. We returned to this popular venue last August for TORQ Lite and it's just as good as ever. Expect a few short sharp climbs and some longer gentler ones, with fast, fun single track descents.

What an amazing turnaround from the Gorrick team to create TORQ Lite at short notice. Returning to Porridgepot - last used in 2016 - was welcomed by riders already familiar with the huge selection of fun trails. And they certainly made the most of the venue with a 6.5 mile course...
