About the Event

Info for Riders

Lotts Wood is a technical off-road environment used for Go-Ride coaching and coach-led racing. Please ensure you have a functioning MTB bike with treaded tyres and gears to take part in this event. Knee pads are also recommended if the ground is wet as exposed flints can be sharp if you land on them! 

Racing starts at 10.00am and racing will proceed in the following order: 

U6 (2 short lap/8 mins) - 10am

U8 (4 short laps/12 mins) - approx start time 10.10am

U10 (1 full lap/20 mins) - approx start time 10.30am

U12 (2 full laps/30 mins) - approx start time 10.31am

U14 (3 full laps/45 mins) - approx start time 10.32am

U16 (4 full laps/60 mins) - approx start time 10.32am (U16/U14 race together)

When riders have completed their XC race they can complete a MTB skills course with penalty points for 'dabs' and mistakes, a timed hillclimb event and also a surpise fun event. Points will be awarded for all events and winners decided in 'omnium' format. 

There will be overall winners in each category (male and female) and spot fun prizes.
