This is a development XCTT event to allow riders of all abilities to develop skill and race craft.  The purpose of the event is to help East Midland Riders brush off the cobwebs and get racing before the first National Series event in April.  The event will be held on the Pickworth Plot Trails at Doddington Hall. Doddington Hall, Giant Store, Doddington LN6 4RU 

The race will be in a time trial format with four riders going off and time taken, up to four riders at a time.  The event will be informal to allow people to get into MTB XCO.
