TORQ Breakout XC endurance - August Bank Holiday weekend
by Jane Lucas, 24 Jun 20.
Although we are still awaiting the Government's announcement about sporting events which is expected in early July, the Club has spent the past week making logistical enquiries and discussing whether it would be possible to run such a large scale event as TORQ in your Sleep to the high standard that we have in previous years. Sadly, we have decided that it is unlikely.
We've therefore decided to run a more bespoke XC endurance event - TORQ Breakout - at our Area 51, Highlands Farm venue instead....
Gorrick MBC events looking forwards
by Jane Lucas, 15 Apr 20.
We hope you and your families are all healthy and managing ok during the lockdown. We are working from home or furloughed from our day jobs and so are concentrating on keeping fit and well and getting out on our bikes when we can. No one knows yet when the restrictions will be eased, but these are the events we would like to run (if possible) up to the end of the year...
Skedaddle Spring Classic at Area 51 - Results and Photographs
by Paul Howard, 01 Mar 20. Results [ 1» ] Photos [ 1» ]
Finally, the weather blessed us with good conditions for racing under sunny blue skies on a fun course. The hard work the trail team has put in over the last month was very evident as we continue to invest in Area 51; extending the parking area, surfacing new routes through the "mire" which was previously a no go area, and creating some new descents was all worthwhile. So it was a pleasure to see the categories well supported providing close racing. Review your results and photographs from the links above. Big thanks to our sponsors Saddle Skeddadle and Bounce Balls UK for the prizes, and Mountain Trax for the race number boards.
Our next events are on the Calendar. We're looking forward to something a little different on the 18/19 April The Bishops Way 100 mile gravel/mtb ride with overnight camping. Check out the website for full details.

by Jane Lucas, 13 Feb 20.
Well we tried, but sadly we're going to have to cancel the first XC Classic event planned for this coming Sunday, due to the high winds and rain forecast. If you have pre-entered we will email you.
Hopefully we'll make it to Crowthorne Wood later in the year. In the meantime our next Spring XC Classic event will be on Sunday 1 March at Area 51, Frimley Green, Surrey.

As public safety is of paramount importance, the Crown Estate has decided to close The Great Park and adjoining land on Sunday and we wholeheartedly agree that it is the correct thing to do....
