Preview: TrailTrax Navigators 2009

by Jon Lucas, 02 Mar 09.

As our regular riders will know, we are only doing three TrailTrax events this year, so here they are for your diaries:

Sunday 15th March at Wellington College, Crowthorne, Berks
Sunday 9th August at Flower Pots Inn, Cheriton, Hants
Sunday 11th October at Tilford Institute, Tilford, Surrey

It's been a while since our last TrailTrax mountain bike orienteering event, but the first of this season gets under way on Sunday 15th March 2009 at Wellington College Sports Club in Crowthorne, Berkshire. It is a delightful setting with a bar selling real ales and snacks, and is centrally placed to give great access to the local area of the Blackwater Valley. Early arrivals can enjoy tea, coffee, juice and home made cakes, whilst marking up their maps and plotting strategy. There are plenty of categories to suit all ages and abilities, solo or pairs, male or female, experts to families. Full event details for the year including venue postcodes and details of how to take part can be found on the TrailTrax section of this website.

You can enter either online or by downloading and posting in your entry NOW for any or all of the above, but please note that pre-entries for the first event will close on Tuesday 10th March. However, as with all Gorrick events, you will be able to enter on the day at a £2 surcharge. Registration is open from 8.30 and Start times are from 8.45 to 10.15am for the 3 hour event and from 10 to 11am for the easier 2 hour schedule. Please note that no riders will be able to take part after these times, as Prizegivings must take place at 1.35pm. Once again we are delighted that Mountain Trax will be providing the fantastic prizes for this years events - you can check out their online sales at www.mountain-trax.com.
