Preview: Cheriton TrailTrax 9th August
by Jon Lucas, 03 Aug 09.
Our next TrailTrax mountain bike navigation event is our annual visit to the massively popular Flower Pots venue at Cheriton, between Alton and Winchester. It's a glorious place, nestled in the Itchen Valley just off the South Downs Way offering a great ride for both those who are looking for a serious challenge or those who want a gentle morning ride around a new area. You choose how many checkpoints to visit and decide what route you want to take. Start times are from 8.45am to 10.15am for the 180 minute schedule and from 10am to 11am for the shorter, family friendly 120 minute schedule.
The Flower Pots brews its own beer on the premises and always puts on a great Barbeque for us, so there's lots to look forward to on your return - as well as the traditional prize giving courtesy of our sponsor Mountain Trax . Full event details can be found elsewhere on the Gorrick website and remember you can still pre-enter online until Tuesday 4th August when all pre-entries close, otherwise there will be entry on the day available as usual at small surcharge. We look forward to seeing you there.
