Autumn Classic Races preview

by Jane Lucas, 29 Sep 12.

Our final two XC events of the year are fast approaching, and are a great way to finish your season with a blast:

SUNDAY 14 OCTOBER - At the very popular Tunnel Hill at Pirbright, Surrey.

SUNDAY 11 NOVEMBER - At our superb home course at Crowthorne Wood, Berkshire.

These events are headline sponsored by Endura well known makers of superb cycling clothing and they will be providing some great prizes.

Racing starts at 9.00am and, as these races are not a Series, why not push yourself and give the next category up a go? There are also Beginner and Fun categories for those new to racing. Children can race from age 8 upwards and there is no late entry charge on any non-adult category. As usual you can expect full facilities and a very warm welcome.

Of course at Crowthorne Wood in November we will be back where it all started for us 20 years ago. So were you there in the very early days, or do you know someone who was there? If so, please drop us an email, as we have plans. Any scanned photos from around that time would also be very much appreciated.

For added interest the Tunnel Hill Trolls will be holding a handicap sprint race in the afternoon at Classic 1, and Berks on Bikes will be holding theirs in the afternoon of Classic 2 - always fun to watch.

As many of you have noticed, pre-entry is already open and you can pre-enter online until the evening of the Tuesday before each event. If you do, please remember to bring along your receipt in case of any query. Otherwise you can always enter on the day.
