Gorrick Hot & Cool MTB Challenges 2018
by Jane Lucas, 07 Jan 18.
As you think about which events you’re going to attend this year, if you haven’t already done one, you may like to give our highly rated MTB Challenges a go. Organised by our experienced, friendly team, they are timed, choice of distance, fully supported, marked route mtb events run along quiet lanes, tracks, bridleways and singletrack in Hampshire and Wiltshire. We’ve been organising them for some years (they started out as the Test Valley Tour) and they’ve evolved into very popular events that offer something for everyone.
Some riders like to really push themselves, others like to ride with their family (U16s ride for FREE) whilst others just enjoy riding through the stunning scenery with their friends. All riders receive a finisher’s medal and can download a free high res. image of themselves riding the event. The tasty on site catering ranges from coffee and homemade cakes to beer and a bbq.

- Hot MTB Challenge (Medium, Long or Epic routes) - Sunday 20 May – HQ at Vernham Dean Pavilion, Vernham Dean, Hants. SP11 0JY
