Hugely popular, these are outstanding venues highly suitable for XC endurance racing over 5-6 mile laps through heath and pine woodland with flowing and testing single track mixed in with swooping trails and stone fire roads. You just choose how long you want to ride for, select your age category and then complete as many laps as you can before the time cut off.
CATEGORIES
Categories have changed for this year and are defined by your age on Sunday 31 January 2027.
- 2hr: Open 14-17, Female 14+, Open 18-39, Open 40-49, Open 50-59, Open 60+
- 3hr: Open 18-39, Female 18+, Open 40-49, Open 50-59, Open 60+, Single Speed
These friendly events have full facilities. Each event is a stand-alone race with unique Four4th Lights sponsored trophies, but it's also a round of a Series, and you need to ride and get points in every round to be in contention. There's podium trophy and prize presentations very soon after the end of each category finish, plus Series trophies and prizes at the last round. Thanks to our generous sponsors, a variety of spot prizes will also handed out during the Series.
The event will open at 8am for the collection of your Brilliant Bike Shop sponsored number board and for course pre-riding.
