TrailTrax Results - North Downs, Dorking
by Paul Howard, 17 Apr 11. Results [ 1» ]
The Priory School on the outskirts of Dorking opened up a new area for TrailTrax competitors to get their teeth into; the great range of hills including Leith, Holmbury, Pitch and Ranmore Common. So there was plenty of climbing and of course fun descending required to maximise scoring opportunities. Indeed there were a number of clearances in outstanding times so well done all. It was good to welcome new riders to our events and we hope to see you at all four this year.
As a new addition we are creating a series points table so over the course of the year you can compare cumulative scores against all other riders. For now take a look at todays results via the link above. Thank you as ever to Mountain Trax of Barkham near Finchampstead for continued sponsorship and providing all the prizes.
