2012 Mountain Bike Events

Thanks for the many comments on Facebook on which events to ride in 2012. I've broken the events down into XC and enduro categories.

XC Events
Gorrick XC's
Southern XC's
Whiteways mid week XC's if they happen
Nat XC Champs (Good luck Steve!)

Comments:

Business as usual with the addition of the Whiteways XC's if they happen

We intend to ride at most or all of the above events in 2012 as they're all fairly local

Enduro Events
May. Gorrick 100 (Bracknell), Erlstoke 12 (Salisbuty), National 12 & 24 hour champs (Newcastleton, Scotland)


June. Bristol Bike Fest


July. Are You Tough Enough? (Aldershot), 24/12, Black Mtn 3 day (Wales)


Aug. Brighton Big Dog, Torq 12:12 (near Fleet)

Sept. Maxx Enduro, K100 (Kielder Forest - Borders)


Oct. D2D (Thetford)

Comments:

Nobody voted for Mountain Mayhem or SITS

We did have a few request to ride a 24 hour event

24/12 did come up and there's the 12 option too. Therefore I suggest that we make an effort to ride at 24/12 in 2012. It has by far the best circuit of the 24 hour races as it's held at the old Plymout World Cup circuit




A few takers for the K100. Start training for that one around now..

Can I have names for the enduros please? Especially the team or distant events. Those are:

Bristol Bikefest teams & riders
24/12 Teams & riders
K100 riders
D2D teams & riders

I'd like to start putting teams together for these so we can sort out transport to the events. Let me know if I've forgotton any events. I can answer questions over event formats, etc.


Regards,

James

    I'll be there for the XC events. Enduro wise I always ride the Gorrick 100 and Are You Tough Enough. Plus I'll hopefully be able to make Big Dog this year.

    I'd have voted for Mayhem but I'm not doing it solo! Would be keen to team up for another 24h race though.

    Also really interested in the Black Mtn 3 day.

    Ben,

    I think we're likely to do the 24/12.

    I'll be doing the XC events plus some enduros, the Gorrick 100, Are You Tough Enough, Brighton Big Dog, Torq 12:12, XTM 4 hour, Brass Monkies.

    I'd happily do Mayhem as a team, or another 24h race.

    Brass monkeys 4 hrs, hopefully finishing in the top third of the field this year. In 2012 I only have one main aim and thats a 12 hr solo at 24/12 to try and better my 7th of a few years back... If Erlestoke is on and falls at the right time would love a go at that again as that course is superb...

    Ian, Damo,

    Thanks for your comments. We seem to be pretty well aligned for enduros.
    24/12 has go the most flexibility around categoreis by far. I also have unfinished business there too. I entered the 12 hour solo but was out of the country for the race so I want to go back and ride it in 2012.

    Hi James,

    I'd be up for a team place at 24/12 and also keen to do K100 and Black Mountain 3 day. I'll also be at Gorrick 100, AYTE and Big Dog and probably a Brass monkey or 3!
