Hi, i live in suffolk which isnt the greatest place to ride and the problem is im only just 17 so i can't drive yet but i want to start racing but i can't travel to far. I have ridden up the peaks once before and have been around thetford a few times on my long travel on one scandel so i reckon i'll be able to handle it :) Anyone know anything thats going on?

    There's the Mud Sweat and Gears series around you, although I don't know if there are any left this year. There's also the Thetford winter series races, which are always good fun, if not properly XC racing, more enduros.

    +1 for the Thetford Winter Series. I did it for the first time last year and its very well run and the Sport category isn't too hard!
