Sponsors and prize lists:
The overall sponsor Hope has put up some great prizes for the overall series winners as well as providing the custom cut disks for the winners trophies. With a Vision 4 led, a Tech X2 brakeset and the brand new SP XC6 wheelset (not even in the shops yet!) up for grabs for the overall. Leisure Lakes have dug deep to support the racer category with a total of £300 of vouchers up for grabs at each race including a first lap prime of £25. Ride-On and Max Gear are providing the prizes for the “Weekend Warriors” and “Have-a-go Hero’s” with a great products and vouchers for the winners. There are also some “fun” prizes including a singlespeed trophy and crud catchers for the riders who can’t keep it clean!
Course:
The laps are about 4.5 km and include some stiff climbs. The course comprises fast open track, a big bermy rollercoaster section and long sections of fast technical singletrack. The trails are very technical in places and include a few points where they are quite rocky or exposed. Please note, the course is NOT the same as last time. The Have-a-go Heros still have their own route.
Please note that we have a strict “no assistance” rule which includes technical support and feeding for all categories. We therefore recommend taking a chain link, spare tube, tyre levers and pump as a few people didn’t on race 1 and it was race over when they had a mechanical.
