This was the 3rd and final round of the Merida Brass Monkeys which took place at Windmill Hill in Deepcut. A very big thanks to the Gorrick team who organise these events for creating such amazingly fun courses out of the woodlands in this area.
Doing well in the Brass Monkeys winter series requires stamina and speed on the bike, but also a helping hand from lady luck. The bikes take some serious abuse from the rough trails and the onslaught of torrid winter conditions. So a big hand to Ben Connor, Peter Wilsdon and John Reay who finished each round.
Peter was off first in the 2hr Male and probably had the worst of the conditions with Ben out in the 4hr next then the old timers Andy G, John R and John D in the 3hr.
The first lap was a little slippy but after that a racing line appeared and sticking to it was important as any mistake put you in trouble riding through some deep mud. The course deteriorated on a few descents but the ever vigilant Gorrick crew soon detoured you around these on adjacent drops.
Everybody finished this round no mishaps or mechanicals results below:-
Peter Wilsdon - 32nd in 2hr Male
John Reay - 11th, Andy Goodyer - 14th and John Davies 21st in 3hr Grand Vets
Ben Connor - 8th 4hr Male
Series Results :- Peter 11th, John Reay 6th and Ben 7th
