The Summer well and truly took over the Spring series finale at Frith Hill as racing was held in fabulous mid 20's temperatures. Dusty fast riding trails were the order of the day for everyone to enjoy and it all made for great close battles in the Series Points, with many positions not decided until the final crossing of the finish line. Congratulations to all those who stepped up to the podium and a big thank you to our Series Sponsor Saddle Skedaddle, and the local bike shops that support each category with prizes. In the prize draw for a Saddle Skedaddle Holiday open rider Pippa Tanner was the lucky winner.
A massive thank you from all the Gorrick Team to you all for riding, spectating, the caterers, timing crew, course builders, commentators, photographers and not least all the behind scenes staff who work tirelessly to bring quality events and race courses to the masses. And yes, the Spring Series will be back in 2012 - the provisional dates and venues are already published on our event menu cards. In the meantime we look forward to seeing you at Swinley Forest on the 1st May for the Exposure Lights 100 Enduro.

Spring Series Round 3 - Results and Photographs

How great it was to be back at Heath Warren after a 3 or 4 year layoff to ride many of the trails that have been revived, plus a handful of new ones thanks to Pete Radband's sterling efforts. I had forgotten just how testing and physically demanding the singletrack was there. If it wasn't the start straight hill and fireroad headwind that wore you down, it was the requirement to be constantly manoeuvring the bike around tight trees or trying to keep pedalling smoothly through the motocross trails. All great fun of course. Even our bikes went home 'happy' with barely the merest hint of mud to wipe off from the one watersplash. Full results are now available via the link above along with Joolze Dymonds photographs. READ MORE...
