Wycombe Summit Evening XC Team Race
by Simon North, 12 Aug 05.
Our friends at Summit Racing are hosting a team XC relay race on Wednesday 24th August to round off the first season of evening races on the Deangarden Wood course, High Wycombe. Here?s a chance for clubs, bike shops, racers, club riders and families to take part and race on the acclaimed course. Course designer and Masters racer Bren Divall has promised a shorter, slightly easier course for the team event to encourage riders of all ability levels. The racing will start in daylight but end in the dark, so competitors can sample the exciting atmosphere of night racing, lights will be required.
Open to teams of at least 2 but no more than 4 riders, this is an excellent way of trying XC racing for the first time and we?d particularly like to see teams of women riders and family teams of parents and kids.
For the more experienced racers the event makes an ideal warm-up for the weekend?s Kona Sleepless in the Saddle endurance race. "Doing SITS will be fine as long as riders go into the Summit relay race well rested", says Torq Fitness mountain bike trainer Matt Hart.
