Brass Monkeys next Tuesday

Round 2 - Merida Brass Monkeys - Tuesday 28 December

After the Winter Warmer, it’s now time for the Christmas Cracker at Ash Common Ranges, Ash (nearest postcode GU12 5EU). Yes, a fun way to work off that Christmas excess and blow away the cobwebs! This is a great chance to ride in a very limited access live firing area, which will be much improved this year following last year’s forestry work curtailing the course. Brass Monkeys is run in conjunction with the Army and is supported by some amazing sponsors, headlined by Merida Bikes. There are 4, 2 and 1 hour age related time categories to choose from based on a 7 mile lap. Many of you have already gathered Series points, but there are plenty more up for grabs this time. There will be Podium presentations on the day plus double spot prizes so make sure you are there for prize giving.
This open heath land venue has all the features that we know you expect from us, like fast flowing single track interspersed with fire breaks. Brought to you by an experienced team with computerised chip race timing, in race live results screen, commentary, photographer, Merida stand and shop, Quaver catering, toilet block, water, bike wash and plenty of parking, and oh yes the heated marquee with live results screen for your supporters!
The event is nearly full, so if you want to enter, do so soon as there will be NO ENTRY ON THE DAY. As before, please bring your MBSA receipt of entry with you in case of any queries. There are plenty of vantage points with great views for safe spectating too if your family and friends want to cheer you on, plus a great pub (The Swan) close by. The pub is open all day from 9am to 11pm and will be serving food. The Swan is only a 200m walk from the venues main entrance.
