Gorrick Autumn Classic - Sunday 1 November

by Jane Lucas, 20 Oct 15.

Pre-entry closes early next week for our XC Autumn Classic on SUNDAY 1 NOVEMBER at Crowthorne Wood, Crowthorne, Berks - nearest post code RG45 6AR.

NEW START TIMES mean racing starts at 8.50am with the younger riders’ races first before a slightly later Fun race. We have reintroduced the Junior category for ages 17-18 and there is a Beginner category for those new to racing. Children can race from age 8 upwards.

Crowrthorne wood is our home course and you can expect some lovely smooth flowing singletrack and The Corkscrew our ‘Marmite’ technical feature that twists and dips through a series of ridges. The finishing loop also offers spectators a good view of the riders climbing and then descending as they race to the Finish. There’ll be full facilities, a warm welcome and generous sponsorship means that we’ll have some great prizes to give out too. Berks on Bikes will be taking part in their annual Sprint too – so all in all it’s a return to service as usual.

You can pre-enter here and please bring your receipt to the event in case of any query. Otherwise you can always just turn up and enter on the day – Registration opens at 8am. Full details are on the Gorrick website and for all the latest news and pre-event course updates, check out our Facebook or follow us on Twitter.
