[quote=scottfitz]Also I was unaware that ladies could not enter Hardtails. Seam a bit sexist IMO.

It might just be a problem with the way the event is set up online. I've sent an email to BC anyway. Stick me in with the fellas, I'll race anyone 😆

Agree I can see how you can have a age cat for men and women separate but have a men's HT cat and NO women's HT cat sounds odd. Let me know what the email says because another lady just asked the same question.

9 till 4 ish and it's £5 on the day.

BTW just to let you guys know I am organising the Champs on the back of the Gravity project race but I/the champs don't take any money out. Just doing it you encourage others to race in Hardtail and have as much fun racing as I do!!

Well, it looks like it's working so far! 2nd ever race, 1st was SS XC. Need a FF helmet now. And some practice. Cheers, Scott.

Okey dokey, I haven't had an email back yet but it's only been a few hours since they'd have read it so they won't have had time to flap about and discuss it in committee yet 😆

Anyhoo, it looks like I can just enter the women's category and I'll ride it on my HT 😀

edit- done! 😀

I tell you what if we can get 3 women to enter I will speak to the sponsor's and see if we can get prize fastest women on HT!
Same goes for Fatbikes if there are 3!!

2 runs, sometime GP do 3 runs but the numbers and track length at qecp have meant it has always been 2 runs.
Here are the results from last years race to give you an idea of track times: https://www.rootsandrain.com/race2475/2014-jun-1-gp-honey-4-queen-elizabeth-country-park/
