Gorrick G25 Anniversary Events this Autumn
by Jane Lucas, 06 Sep 17.
When we organised our first mountain bike event in 1992 at Crowthorne Wood, we had no idea that we’d still be running events 25 years later. At the time the sport was new and no one knew how it would take off. Over the years there’ve been great times and tough times but, with your support we’re still here, so it only seems right to mark the 25 years with two unique events this Autumn.
G25 #1 is on Sunday 8 October at Caesar's Camp, Aldershot and is an XC endurance event.
What to expect: a classic 5 mile XC Endurance course, full event facilities, medals for all participants, plenty of trophies.
***Lots more categories = lots more podium spots to be won***
Age category defined by your age on 31 December 2017.
- 5 hour Male categories (£30): ages 16-20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40, 41-45, 46-50, 51-55, 56-60, 61-65, 66-70, 70+
