Merida Brass Monkeys Round 3 - course preview

by Jane Lucas, 13 Jan 16.

The team were out again today at Sunday's venue which is called 'Area 51'. We're very pleased to say it's not wet there and no rain is forecast. As it's a brand new venue, here's a bit about what you can expect:

'Starting out from the Arena set deep in the heart of the woods the Start Straight twists down the valley before climbing up towards the highest point on the course then plunges into the first singletrack. This climbs and descends the hill side and twists and turns bringing riders back to the Arena. Then it's off through the pine woods to the old favourite 'Wedding Ring' before some more fire break trail and traditonal descent back down in to the valley. Some old favourites follow on before a new section of singletrack sweeps around the hillside before climbing once again towards the Arena with some more woodland singletrack before the final return to the Arena.' We hope that's stoked your anticipation!

For the venue go to Frimley Green, Surrey GU16 6HT & follow the road signs. When you arrive please follow the marshals' directions. for parking. The event is full so please do not turn up to enter unless you have specifically been given a vacated place.
