Autumn Classic Preview
by Jane Lucas, 28 Sep 06.
It's Autumn, and we're gearing up for our Autumn Classic mountain bike races. First up is our NEW VENUE at Tunnel Hill, between Mytchett and Pirbright on Sunday 8 October 2006. This promises to be a real cracker, with plenty of swoopy single track, fast fire road sections with plenty of ups and downs plus the biggest car park we have ever had!
The venue will be well signed from the A331 south of the M3 junction 4 at the Mytchett slip road. The nearest stations are at Ash Vale (from Waterloo) or North Camp (from Reading/Guildford). The entrance to the venue is adjacent to the Basingstoke Canal visitor centre so watch out for their brown signs as well. More details about the venue plus full race details including a downloadable entry form are on the website.
Take a look at Tunnel Hill in our unique 3D Landscape View, we'll be making the most of the terrain. The parking and arena are in the white section toward the centre of the map.
New for this season is the option of PRE-ENTERING and PAYING ONLINE. Just go to the website and follow the instructions or click the button left. Pre-entering either online or by post will save you the £2 on the day charge, and means that you can go straight to the ENTRY EXPRESS stands on the day to pick up your number without having to queue. Please note however that the CLOSING DATE for all pre-entries is midnight on Tuesday 3rd October.
