Gorrick 12:12 TORQ In Your Sleep

by Jane Lucas, 30 Jul 10.

Our annual 12 hour Enduro event is at Minley Manor near Yateley, Hants on the Bank Holiday weekend of SUNDAY 29th August. Please remember that unlike our normal events there will be NO ENTRY ON THE DAY at this event. Your options are Solo, Pairs, or Teams of 3 or 4. If you're still unsure of your exact team line-up, then don't worry, you can submit your entry anyway and confirm the rider names on the actual day when you collect your Race Number Pack at Event Registration.

The 8 mile figure of 8 course will be a typically 'Gorrick' classic with flowing singletrack through pine forest and parkland with a few technical challenges interspersed by short fire roads to aid recovery and refuelling. The final section into the arena will be shortened to a very fast downhill blast, so giving both riders and spectators a great view of the action.

Headline sponsors TORQ Fitness will be giving away goodies to every rider. In addition, they'll also be supplying your energy needs at the on-course TORQ Power Station with free energy drink. Lumicycle will also be on hand, should you need to hire lights. Onsite facilities include FREE CAMPING from 2pm Saturday to 2pm Monday, Showers, Toilets, Drinking Water, Hot and Cold Food from Saturday evening through to the early hours of Monday morning, In Vision Timing, a Solo Pit/Camping Area, Joolze Dymond our event Photographer, a Massage Team and free prize draws.

The venue opens from 2pm on Saturday when the course will be available for pre-riding. Event Registration will be open on Sunday from 8am to 10.30am for Race Number Pack Collection with a Rider Briefing at 11am.

When the riding finishes, you can relax in the Arena with a free beer, chat to your friends, listen to the live band and watch the prize presentations and prize draws.
