10th Merida Brass Monkeys XC enduro Series 2017/18
by Jane Lucas, 16 Nov 17.
Coming up soon will be the Brass Monkey XC Enduro Series, headline sponsored by Merida. This hugely popular Series uses outstanding venues and has 5-6 mile laps. The all weather courses are set and prepared by our experienced team, and go through heath and pine woodland with flowing singletrack mixed in with swooping trails and stone fire roads. Although we are going to Minley twice, do not expect the same course - it will be totally different. Please note that some of the dates have changed since they were first publicised.
- Round 1 Christmas Cracker - 17 December 2017 at Frith Hill, Deepcut, Surrey, GU16 6SD
- Round 2 New Year Hangover - 7 January 2018 at Minley Manor, Yateley, Hants GU17 9UF
- Round 3 Winter Warmer - 28 January 2018 at Minley Rewind, Yateley, Hants GU17 9UF
Each event will have full facilities, including a marquee HQ and trophies and prizes to be won at each round and for the Series. There's a wide choice of categories. You just need to decide how long you want to ride for, and then complete as many laps as you can before your time is up.

- 10.00 (finishing 12.00) All 2hr riders including Juniors (aged 14-17).
