Cool MTB Challenge Rider Times

The Cool Challenge took place on Sunday 6 October on the outskirts of Andover with a route taking in the Test Valley byways, bridleways and Collingbourne Woods singletrack. There was as usual some muddy bits but that's the fun of this time of year. The rain held off with the just the lightest mizzle right at the end of the day, but otherwise a good Autumnal day to be out on the bike. It's great to see the variation and ages of bikes now being used from gravel, to xc hardtails, full suspension and more electric mtb's are appearing. Riders can view their total ride time on the Results file linked above. If you note we've got the wrong distance for you please let us know at webmaster@gorrick.com

If you fancy a different kind of challenge our Gorrick Halloween XC race is on the 27 October on a short (roughly 3 mile) lapped course full of fun singletrack. Rather than a gentle meander through the countryside it's more of an intense effort lasting an hour or so. Ideal for those new to racing, join the Fun 2 lap category. If your stamina is better paced over a longer effort the winter Brass Monkey Endurance Races in December and January feature 2, 3 and 4 hour categories. Expect a 5-6 mile lap over over mixed terrain. Pre-entry for all are open on TicketTailor. See you there.
