hi,
does anyone know of any 'low end' xc races up north this year?? i am starting out in racing so would like a decent event to start to, but also not full of olypic riders, if you know what im saying 🙂 anything you know will be a help, e.g how to get into racing, where, when ect...
cheers,
jamie
I've entered the British XC Series Round 1 at Sherwood pines on the 24th March. I've opted for the Open Catagory but i've noticed that they also have a Fun Catagory if thats of interest. The laps will be less than 6km and the Fun cat is 2 laps. Expert and Elite etc are racing on the sunday so it may be less intimidating out on the course.
I haven't raced since 1992!! So its a first for me in a long time.....
There will be a nutcracker series later in the year around catterick area which also looked good last year.
Check these out

thanks guys, il have a look. can't wait to enter some races 😀
how up north?
Kielder marathon series are actually quite short so more XC than endurance. Nutcracker series is somewhere around Newcastle and South to Yorkshire.
north yorkshire?? just seen the nutcracker series and hopefully going to enter, should be fun 😀 cheers

Really not sure how that'll work, with everyone practicing on the Saturday 😕
NPS2 is at Dalby if you want to ride one of the best courses in the world.
