In memory of Dudley Blackwell
by Jane Lucas, 09 Nov 16.
We like to think that our events are always very welcoming and over the
years many riders and their supporters have become our friends. Daran
Blackwell has been a regular rider since our earliest days and his father
Dudley was his greatest supporter - always at the events cheering him on.
We were therefore very sad to hear that Dudley had passed away in March, and
our sympathies are with Daran and his family. He was a lovely character and
will be missed.

And once again the trail team mixed it up so you never quite knew what surprises laid around the next bend, of which there many, and roots...
Cool MTB Challenge - Finish Times

A torrential downpour first thing didn't dampen the spirits too much of the Cool Challengers as the sun eventually broke through and remained out for the majority of the day. This gave the riders a pleasant, if a bit muddy, riding experience. At least the temperature was decent enough as previous years have encountered near freezing and hailstorms.
If you want to keep riding through the winter Gorrick organises the Brass Monkeys Enduros which are a short lap offroad race, more info here...
Autumn Classic 1 - Results and Photographs

Area 51 near Tunnel Hill was the venue for Round 1 of the Autumn Classics. The venue has only been used twice before and is quickly establishing itself as a fun but tough course to race. The hills may seem short but they're steep punchy little numbers, and the singletrack is unrelenting in a flowy twisty turny fashion...

Sorry these are posted a week after the event, webmaster has been away.

We have a few clearances in the solo categories, and one of the best pair scores we have seen for a long time. The Flower Pots were excellent once again, laying on a BBQ and their favourite beers for the happy riders. Full results download via the link above, and series results update is here.
