NEW EVENT - Gorrick Gravity Trail Enduro - Sunday 22 April
by Jane Lucas, 23 Jan 18.
We like to move with the times here at Gorrick, so this Spring we are going to be running a new type of event for us; Gravity Trail Enduro. It's a gravity fed timed race event, a race but not in the XC Enduro sense as you will not be competing shoulder to shoulder, this is you versus the course. Great for all abilities and bikes...

So I and no doubt many other riders have ridden Minley for over 10 years including every Torq in Your Sleep and thought we had exhausted every course permutation. But somehow the trail team put together a 5 1/2 mile lap that totally switched up all the trails, what an amazing effort! Ground conditions too made for exceptionally good going and that's probably why 100's of competitors more used to horrible sticky mud made descended on the second Brass Monkey... by Paul Howard, 17 Dec 17.

What a great but tough little course twisting and flowing for over 5 miles making good use of the varied terrain and features of the land. Many riders who are more used to slogging round their local patch in sticky mud at this time of year were pleased to find trail conditions were good. by Jane Lucas, 16 Nov 17.
