by Paul Howard, 25 Nov 12. Results [ 1» ] Photos [ 1» ]
The Merida Brass Monkeys Winter Enduros kicked off with the 'climbiest' course of them all, reputedly 1000ft per lap. Hard on the legs going up but oh such sweet fun on the descents, especially Bunker Buster and the last downhill to the finish. Given the amount of rain during the week and on Saturday the course was pretty much 99.9% rideable with no need for mud tyres. No doubt many riders have a story to tell which you can do on the Brass Monkeys Facebook.
Later in the week the Series Positions will be published, points are awarded to the top 40 finishers in each category. We're looking forward to Round 2 on the 16th December at Windmill Hill, Deepcut, otherwise known as Porridgepot Hill used for both the Are You Tough Enough Enduro and Gorrick races. Get your entry in early so as not to miss out.
