Autumn Classic 2 - Crowthorne Results & Photographs
by Paul Howard, 14 Nov 10. Results [ 1» ] Photos [ 1» ]
A Crowthorne Classic, but with new twists and turns! It was great to see so many people out enjoying the best of what the Crowthorne trails have to offer. The early starters got away with a dry race with great conditions under tyre thanks to the hard working crew during the week. But the rain settled in for the afternoon and made the going tricky for some though they all finished with big muddy smiles.
Full results are available and Joolze Dymonds photos should be up for Monday.
Don't forget it's just two weeks until the first Merida Brass Monkey Winter Enduro, so you have only one week remaining to pre-enter as there is no entry on the day.
Looking ahead to 2011 the Spring Series XC online entry is now live over on MBSA and TORQ1212 will follow soon so you can plan your season early.
