Forthcoming events: Gore Enduro Challenge and 12:12 Torq in your Sleep

by Jon Lucas, 02 Apr 09.

Gore Bike Wear 100 Enduro Challenge

Hot on the heels of our Spring Series will be our Spring Enduro Challenge on Sunday 3rd May at Swinley Forest, Bracknell. The South's long established premier Enduro event has gained a great reputation and a unique feel all of its own. The challenge is not fixed by time but by the number of laps you choose to ride, either; 2, 3, 4, 5 or 7. So do you race or pace, compete against other riders or just the course? It's entirely up to you, but there will be a finisher's medal if you make it, and some great pieces of kit as prizes courtesy of Gore Bike Wear our generous headline sponsor. Gore Bike Wear will also be displaying their range of clothing. There will be lots of other trade stands to wander around during the day, massage therapists on hand to loosen up leg muscles and ease cramps and all the usual facilities. We've already had a stack of entries, and you can pre-enter online or by post until Tuesday 28th April. Pre-entry is advisable to avoid queing at registration especially if you are starting in the early races - priority will be given to the 7 and 5 lap entrants. There will be entry on the day at a £3 surcharge.

Gorrick 12:12 Torq in your Sleep 12 hour Enduro

Last year saw our first 12 hour Enduro, and this year it's on the August Bank Holiday weekend. Just like last year it will run from 12 noon to 12 midnight on Sunday 30th August at Minley Manor just 5 minutes from the M3 at junction 4A. Torq are sponsoring the event again and it will be everything that you expect from us and much more! Plenty of trade stands, catering all weekend, showers, massage therapists, that DJ, free overnight camping for those of you who want to chill after the event and prizes and treats galore. ONLINE ENTRY is now open at www.mbsawebsite.com and there is an entry form on the web site too for postal entries. So it's time to enter - do you want to do it solo, or as part of a pair or a team? The good news is that if you want to enter a pair or a team you don't need to confirm all the details now (just your team name), you can sort the riders out later or on the day, but you do need to get your entry in, as there will be NO ENTRY ON THE DAY. Online and postal entries will close on FRIDAY 21st AUGUST or before that if we're full.
