Well done all who raced, you can see your results and great photos from Kevin via the links above this item. Podium photos are on the Gorrick Facebook. Let us know with a quick comment how you got on.
We now take a short break and prepare for TORQ In Your Sleep 12:12 on the weekend of the 14 May. This is a brilliant social weekend of racing 6 or 12hrs, plus childrens short races.

Brass Monkey Round 2 visited the Aldershot Military lands at Hungry Hill which has the highest elevation in the area. It provides the longest climb of any Monkey course, nearing one mile from the Start line to the top. It's always a bit of a wake-up call when you hit that from the gun!...

Brass Monkeys R1 - Results and Photographs

It truly was Brass Monkeys at round one if the ice filled puddles on the entrance road to the venue were anything to go by. But it turned out to be a bright crisp day with trail conditions fantastic for racing. The 6 mile lap was a good tester of fitness and bike handling. Climbs were never that long but always just steep and punchy enough to wear you down. However the descents at PorridgePot always seem to go on and on.
Your results and photographs can be accessed from the links above, and podium photos are on the Gorrick Facebook. Series Points will follow this week.
Thanks for supporting Gorrick this year. Have a good Christmas break and we'll see you back at the New Year Hangover on the 9th January.

What a fine Autumnal day for racing a mountain bike. Sunny, mild temperatures and buff trails to zip around on is enough to make anyone smile. So it was pleasing to see everyone having fun at Highlands Farm. Race results are linked above and podium photos on the Facebook group. XC Round 2 will return here on the 14th November, but as always expect a different course. See there.
