Skipton DH Race - 'Mega Farmalanche'
Full details can be found below:
http://www.facebook.com/events/326289170741343/
If you do not use Facebook the details of the event are below, please contact me via personal message or by leaving a comment below if you are interested in attending and not currently a member of Facebook. Contact details and exact location will be released at least 1 week before the event taking place on the 25th of March 2012.
"Running a similar format to last time. Depending on numbers there will be 2 race runs and after that Mass Start runs in waves of 10. No strict maximum number of entrants but only 1 race run may be realistic if numbers are high.
Practice will be open on the Saturday should anyone want to come and familiarise themselves with the track and Sunday morning practice will commence from early o'clock. I would request all racers to not rock up after 12 o'clock, race runs will be starting in between half 12 and half 1 depending on numbers.
The track contains pedally sections as well as steep technical and rocky tracks, it is a perfect track for all bikes as there is a combination of all styles of riding. There was a mix of downhill bikes, enduro bikes and hardtails at the last race.
I'd request anyone willing to marshal, time or photograph to contact me separately either by private message or by posting on the wall. If you mark yourself simply as attending I will assume you are racing.
Anyone is welcome even if not on the guest list so feel free to invite anyone.
The date is still flexible to some extent so if you can't make it then we may be able to arrange something. This will be a fixed date up to 3 weeks before the event.
This event is 'timed practice' and entirely non-competitive and only for fun, as such it is free to enter. Placings and positions are only given for a comparative nature. As it is non-competitive and free to enter by attending the event you acknowledge the dangers of mountain biking as a sport and understand that in no way is anyone else liable for any damage done to your persons or two wheeled possessions.
Unicycles welcome.
The track is as below, however subject to change:
