    Afternoon Guys,
    Does anyone know of any weekday evening XC race series starting this summer?

    I have done a couple of wiggle Saturday or Sunday races in the South of England but am running out of spare weekends and thought I would try & get some racing in during the working week.

    Unforts I live in flat old Cambridge but can travel during the day with work so anywhere within a couple of hrs would work?

    Cheers

    Here you go… Bit of a drive for you, but possible.

    The Beastway series starts next Weds evening for the next ten weeks.

    From real first timers to olympians, all welcome and good fun/nice vibe considering the standard differences

    See you there.

    Cheers Ro5ey,
    That is exactly what I was looking for and Weds are perfect for me too.

    I live and work on the South side of Cambridge so should get there in about 1hr

    Cheers

    Cool

    Come and say hello, I’ll be on a black Rocky Mountain Vertex, white lid, red gloves …

    It’s will not be the most trilling of courses tight with short sharp “climbs”… Its a pretty small area that they cris-cross but they make the most of it and racing is racing.

    Oh and a bonus for you, with the drive back, is that there are decent showers (not that I’ve used ’em… 10min back to my sofa)

    Yeh I hear this every year “all welcome and good fun/nice vibe”.

    Don’t believe him, Beastway is hardcore.

    I swore never again.

    See you next Weds.
