im done 😳
you could always lie about it.
age 15 upwards can race at series 2

you need your parent/ guardian for the consent form though.
we also need marshals otherwise its a very short course
i have lied before and got away with it as i dont look my age but as i want to do bigger races there wanting more proof of age hapend on a local race where i wasnt allowed to do it because of my age so i just waited 5mins up the road and followed the lead pack to the end 😉 ps im not even considering standing outside if its this weather at the weekend
Over 18s, are these sexually explicit races?
metcheck tells me that you should be marshalling to support grass roots racing
Taka- can you send me an e-mail about the forks? I'll get them to you Friday morning if that's OK with you?
Also, check this out. It's not a "race" as such, but I fit this and another one in Meltham in every year because they have all the race feel if you want it, and there's a good bunch of people that do it. They're also cheap!

Check out the brown backs events, and if you can. Also, if you have a parent to drive you, the last round of the Midlands XC Series is at Sherwood pines, 1 1/4 hours from Halifax. It's a flat place but it'll be a good opportunity to get a feel for proper racing.

Going into this time of year there isn't much, but there is a new northern XC race series that British Cycling are organising with a youth section for U17s, and there's challenges all over yorkshire all the time.
I believe the No Fuss events are over 15? Relentless / strathpuffer and so on.

you could always try cx - these are Notts / Derby ([url= http://www.ndcxl.org.uk/ ]http://www.ndcxl.org.uk/[/url]) but there may some nearer to you.
They seem pretty good whenever I've been there - can't comment on the racing as I was watching my kids in the little races
but there is a new northern XC race series that British Cycling are organising with a youth section for U17s,
news to us
having said that, to be expected
I've not heard a great deal about it, but got a load of e-mails from a bloke at BC asking about interest and so on. Really hope it kicks off- the northern race series died completely somewhere after the last days of SIMBA. Good to see Brownbacks and BC showing interest again.
