The info:
Sunday is Trek 6-4-2 Enduro day. An extended version of Saturday’s course keeps the riding interesting and the unique format allows an opportunity for riders to choose their race. As the name suggest Trek 6-4-2 offers the choice of 6, 4 or 2 hour endures and the introduction of separate expert/elite and open categories means you can choose your opposition. There is a pit area where you can leave your race supplies and this also acts as the changeover area for pairs/teams. TORQ energy products will be on hand and are offering an unlimited energy support package for only £5 which includes a TORQ drinks bottle. All trek 6-4-2 entrants will also receive a delicious TORQ Energy bar.

IT'S SUNDAY, SO ITS ANOTHER EVENTS DAY
~ Bicyclemania Ride ~
This is an idea event for first timers to have a go at because you can do as many laps as you like spreading them out with breaks in-between, it's up to you how much effort you put in.

Exciting Course
Don't believe what other riders say about Clipstone Forest (Sherwood Pines) not been challenging enough, it's was a brilliant course, O.K. so their are no long hard climbs but the fast twisty single-tracks make up for that. If your not flicking form left to right your going up and down on mini moguls, and there is no time to sit back due to the speed you are going at.
Rain, rain & more rain
Did it rain on the day, you bet. It started off light but then turned heavy and in no time at all the course was very slippery. Now that on its own is O.K. but when you are at speed trying to stay in a narrow track between skin ripping gorse bushes it becomes a different thing.

Start Somewhere
Sherwood Pines Forest is an ideal place to start off your first mountain bike event, if it wasn't for the new riders coming into the sport it would of died a death some time ago.
