Jun 3, 2010
by Edd Stevens  
Woodland Riders are proud to announce the arrival of a race series at Gawton in Devon UK at last!

This year the South has another venue with a fantastic race series lined up for the summer! Here is a load of info on the series including pics and video's.

Read on...Online booking is live for all 3 rounds, so register here = woodlandriders-racing

The entry costs will be £25.00 per round. Or £66.00 discounted rate for all 3 (only available for a limited time).

Unfortunately it will be a push up series due to the logistics involved in providing a full scale uplift, but the tracks will make up for this. If you have never ridden Gawton it is recommended you do before the race series starts. If you plan to go down and practice you must be a member or hold a valid day pass. You can obtain at Dartmoor cycles, Atlas house, Tavistock, Devon.

TRACKS-

HSD is short for high speed decent, The track is 1 mile long and packed full of features.

Supertavi is our national standard track at ¾ of a mile long, with 2 road gaps and loads technical sections too.

Egypt is ½ a mile long and probably the most technical track of the 3 to race on, it has roots, more roots, rock drops, and lots of off camber riding too.
