Debating the Gorrick race at Hungry Hill, but never played over that way, any good as a course ?
Do you mean the Brass Monkeys Round 3???
If so the answer is yes - very good indeed! 🙂
The course is actually pretty much sorted and was riding well on Monday night.
So yes - worth entering. There are a few climbs and a good mix of single track and fire road. Even a few interesting bits with chutes and bomb holes.
Yes very good riding (have done events there on 2 wheels powered and unpowered!)
Is there a course map or is it created/marked for the day?
Thanks guys, will enter tonight 🙂
I am relatively new to racing - only done one XTT. How hard are these events (technically)? Is the 1 hour taster really too easy?
The one hour will / should give you 2 laps. Technical difficulty - There are some interesting bits but if you control your speed and are either competent or fearless you will get round fine! It gets harder if you ride it quickly!
I haven't seen a map published yet and generally the aren't produced owing to some of the issues with the land being owned by the MoD and in regular use as a Military training area!
A lap is about 8 miles.
Course should be a goodun with some nasty climbs and good descents - probably no course map as the MoD are quite touchy about MTB GPS routes being published for their training areas.
