Even you if don’t want to ‘race’ these events offer the opportunity of riding some of the best trails in the South East. Youth and Junior races start at 9 am however there are options for those 16 years plus to start just before 10 am. Generally your beloved coaches ride in the Pipe ‘n’ slippers (that’s Vets) which start around 11 o’clock.

If you want to race but can’t get a lift please let me know and I’ll see what can be done.
