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!

As you think about which events you’re going to attend this year, 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... 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.
