Gorrick 12:12 Torq in your Sleep - Course Map
by Paul Howard, 13 Aug 13.
Just what you've all been waiting for - the Torq In Your Sleep course map for 2013. It's a hugely complex venue to make the most of the terrain and as you'll see the map is highly intricate with trails seemingly criss-crossing over one another. Indeed thanks to the Bridge to Nowhere the course is essentially an 8 mile figure of eight, but this time we cross the bridge twice and pass under once. So three opportunities to hear DJ Alex's banging tunes at night! Riders familiar with previous courses will be surprised and pleased with the tweaks. The Gorrick Team have been riding the course for a few months now checking out the new sections and ensuring they work as desired. We certainly like it and hope you do to.
Please do pre-ride the course on the Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning to familiarise yourselves with any technical elements, look for the best lines, and to determine suitable overtaking areas.

So then, were you tough enough? Of all the AYTE's this was by far the hottest conditions it's been run in. And although the course was great fun but relentless there didn't seem to be as many riders suffering the dreaded cramps as there has been at previous venue Porridgepot Hill. On behalf of the Army Cycling Union we hope you enjoyed the course and the event as a whole. Full results are now published.
