Are you trying to keep us northerners away, by holding it there?
Maybe on the same weekend us northern types should have a SS only ride out in somewhere handy for us?

Please don't start that again - you could have volunteered to run it, but didn't.
If you've never been, Pippingford is an awesome venue. The views and the trails are ace - the main long DH is more like a trail centre than an XC course - huge berms and very, very fast. Lots of other cool bits too. It's where the Nat Champs were last year - have a hunt for pics on BC and you'll get a good idea.

I'm sure it'll be a great event.
It's the riders that make these things good not the location.

So I'm confused is it Sept? what's the Feb stuff??
Posted 1 year ago # -
Pippingford was a great place to race, really enjoyed racing there for the Marathon Champs. Looking forward to SSUK!
As stu said, it is the people that make the event what it is.

I didn't make a grand announcement as we don't have entries or the fancy website sorted yet but thanks for posting it up Blackhound. It's definitely in September!
Somehow, I think the northerners will cope with the beer. They're all poor and like free beer, right?

Watch it, sunshine...

fun feature on that website: http://www.pippingford.co.uk/contact-location.html
google tells me it is 386 miles! anyone further away?
Posted 1 year ago # -
And free beer !!!!! Its getting better all the time, us poor northern whippet herders love free stuff.
300ish for us lot but may be a bit longer as we tend to get lost when we leave the mother land aka North Yarkshire.
Posted 1 year ago # -
386 mile? and.... it's not close to any big airports either ....
Posted 1 year ago # -
122 miles for me. Ride up to Winchester, tootle along the South Downs Way for a bit then freestyle it up to Nutley.
Don't think I'd get a pass even if I went by car though
