29er race
29er bouncer
quite unusual
New to this, come from marathon running.. :oops:
Will pop down to hurl abu... I mean offer words of encouragement.
Working for second one, so it'll be January before I can race...
Hi Danny
There are all sorts of races to enter, from 1 hour sprint/blast races to 12/24 hour endurance races, being a marathon runner I assume you'll be looking more at the longer races. Thetford is an ideal starting place for a race fairly flat, not too technical, extremely well organised.
4 hour race works like this, everyone starts at 10 o'clock, at 2 o'clock the race finishes (chequred flag comes out) next time you cross the line your race is finished. who ever has done most laps in quickest time is the winner.
Might have to book myself in!

Bottle neck, it may take 10mins to get through! then get held up on the singletrack.......
The good thing with the location is there is the option to have a start loop to get the field rolling.
