A year in the woods

Its been a little quiet of late, so it's great timing that Ben 10 has released this latest edit of 'A year in the woods' to get us all fired up and ready to start a new year!

Sore legs and sore heads

Some collated images of this years Christmas Race. Thanks to Dom and Damo for most of them!

Full race results can be found here. The course definitely produced some surprises this year!

More images and post race banter is currently flooding our Facebook Group

	This picture is noteworthy not only as it features our winner, but also for the positioning of our very own club secretary post race.
A great mornings racing followed by a great evening out (which was followed inevitably by a very slow and not so energetic Sunday!) Thanks to all that turned out to support as well as race!

Christmas Race

This years Christmas Race will be held in Tiscott Woods.

Racing will start at 10:00. We will be getting the track ready from 07:30 so any help is greatly appreciated.

This years track has something for everyone, taking in two short climbs and a long downhill with as much pedalling as you are prepared to put in. It will be a figure of eight starting and finishing with the A39B climb with a nice downhill from the Dark Woods to Tiscott Bottom in the middle!.

As a reminder its not about winning, its all about the bragging rights of who you've beaten!

New Ben 10 edit October

No maps, no directions, no descriptions, no strava evidence, just dry jumping some local spots!

thanks to Ben 10

Long way round...

The post hurricane weather did not put anyone off from this weeks midweek night ride.

18 set off from Southfork for what turned out to be quite a long night in the saddle.

As with all rides with big numbers the chances of mechanicals and flats increase, and this weeks ride saw us with our fair share. A total of six flats in all (three from one individual!) slowed down the overall pace, but when we were going, we were going, with a fast pace, some good hills and a good deal of technical downs to keep everyone warm!

Thank you to all those that donated gear to those that weren't prepared to ensure that no one was left behind in the dark and wet!

See you all next week!... and don't forget to bring at least one tube!
