Gorrick Skedaddle Spring Series 2017
by Jane Lucas, 12 Jan 17.
This is the year that we will be marking 25 years organising mountain bike events. It all started for us in November 1992 at Crowthorne Wood, and we'll be back there on 5 November 2017 with a special event, so get it in your diary if you want to mark it with us.
Before then our long standing Cross Country Spring Series kicks off on Sunday 22 January at Area 51, near Frimley Green, Surrey, GU16 6HT our newly developed peach of a venue. The Series is headline sponsored by Saddle Skedaddle who lead the way in innovative cycling holidays both in the UK and worldwide and supported by some of your favourite local bike shops which means that there is a large prize pool of both winners and spot prizes as well as trophies to be won.
There are categories for riders of all ages and abilities - full details and online entry are here but you can always just turn up and enter on the day at these events. The events have full facilities and are all spectator friendly, so you can bring along your support team too.
The other Rounds are:
- Round 2 - Sunday 26 February - Crowthorne Wood, Crowthorne, Berks, RG45 6AR A firm favourite with riders, that starts with a short uphill that leads into a fast fire road descent before opening out into lovely smooth flowing singletrack.
- Round 3 - Sunday 19 March - Area 51, Frimley Green, Surrey - nearest postcode GU16 6HT. We revisit Round 1's venue, but don't expect the same course.
- Round 4 - Sunday 30 April - WBR, Hogmoor Road, Bordon GU35 9HL. A new long term exclusive venue for us which is part of the Whitehill & Bordon Regeneration initiative. Whilst there are no hills you can expect lots of short climbs and descents in mixed woodland. There'll be a hard standing Arena and parking.
Pre-event info and course updates for all our events can be found on our Twitter and Facebook.
