    Cheers, I'm also a budding hero, I'll be riding a rattling creaking heavy old Scott, and sporting some rather fetching lycras and a sexy silver top :oops:

    Lot of rain forecast this week :cry:
    Does the course get very muddy? Would hate to have my clogged up old bike slow me down :wink:

    It's pretty rocky and quick draining, like the Lake District. Expect to get a good splashing in the damper bits, but don't expect a mud bath...you won't be pushing your bike through the Somme :)

    we also have prizes for the "muddiest rider" sponsored by Mr Crud himself


    course will hold up and we are not running the more natural section that will be muddy, I can't think of a section that will cause a bike to clog up on the 6th


    if anyone can help marshalling it would be appreciated
    get in touch on

    race 2 27th September, race 3 18th October

    It was great to see so many new faces and women giving racing a try, also good to see so many women who could out-ride the blokes on the more technical sections. Even the "Lads" had a good time, shame there were no "Lasses"

    Mainly good from my point of view! My first race so not an expert opinion but well impressed with organisation and marshalling, I got amazing encouragement from some of the marshalls which really helped! Not so good -- that tricky steep rough descent back to the quarry on the havago route - but only coz I was crap on it :lol:

    All in all I found it a very friendly event with everyone giving way/asking for room in great spirit.
    First race - but not my last
