Merida Brass Monkeys - Round 2 Results

'Cheeky Climbs'... the abiding memory from the Christmas Cracker at Ceasers Camp today. In my eyes this venue is one of the absolute best we have in the area. The mix of long steady climbs and 'that' short steep one, plus the varied mix of natural heathland trails is always a pleasure to ride and more so to race. Si Panter had excelled himself once again creating this little gem. The early start for the four hour riders allowed their first couple of laps to be run off in dry conditions. But the mizzle soon arrived as forecast changing the more earthy trails to slightly slippery ones, making for great fun on the descents. Despite the rain all remained rideable apart perhaps for some 'that' climb again, and again, and again.
Full results are as usual on Timelaps. Series points will be updated prior to round 3 on the 5th January at Ash Ranges. From all at the Army CU and Gorrick have a great Christmas and see you in the New Year.

Round 2 of the Merida Brass Monkeys Series is on Sunday 15 December at CAESAR'S CAMP, Aldershot. It's a massively popular venue, despite the hills, as what goes up must come down and the downs are superb! This venue will ride well, whatever the weather, and will produce a surprise around every corner...
Merida Brass Monkeys - Round 1 Results

Full results from Minley are now available via the link above, and the series positions will be posted prior to round 2 on 15th Dec. So how was your first Monkey of the season? Great fun by all accounts. The new arena field allowed for a totally different course setup with a number of trails run in reverse plus plenty of new ones. The course was in amazing condition thanks to the very hard work of the trail bunnies who had to contend with major tree logging destroying many of the regular routes. So just three weeks to round 2, make sure to get your entry asap, as plenty of people missed out despite entry being open for 3 months! Also keep an eye on the websites for venue and course updates.

This year's four round Merida Brass Monkeys Winter Enduro Series starts on Sunday 24 November with Round 1 - The Winter Warmer. As our land use for each round is always subject to the military not needing to use it when we would like to, this can sometimes lead to changes. Please check here in the week or so leading up to each event.
