MBE AUTUMN SERIES RD1 WED 13th Aug - Rider Info etc

 This Wednesday sees the start of the 2014 Season. Round 1 is on Wednesday 13th Aug @ Hetton Lyons Country Park, Hetton Le Hole. The main tracks and now all the singletracks are in perfect condition - hard & fast going under tyre. The refreshments are now all sorted. The Series will be similar set up to previous years with three races on the night, first U10 & U12 Novice 6.10pm on a shorter course for 10mins - all get some goodies at the end. Second race is the U12 expert/14/16 6.25pm on the main course for approx 20+mins, again all get some goodies after. Main race is at 7pm on the main course for approx 50mins (depending upon weather). It will be your best three from four rounds to count for overall league position and the presentation will take place after the main race @ Rd4 on the 3rd Sept. All riders who complete the series will be presented with a goodie bag regardless of position. All i ask is that you turn up in plenty of time to get signed on and get ready for your start time. We hold a tight schedule on the night due to fading light each week. If you are a member dont forget to bring your current 2014 licence otherwise you will have to pay the day member fee. If you are a non member can you complete the Day membership form (see section to the top right of this web page) and bring along on the day, that will help reduce the waiting time at signing on. The races are open to all ages and abilities from complete novice to expert, you dont have to be a member of any club either. You can enter on any type of bike suitable for offroad use inc mountain bikes etc, all you need is a helmet. Can you hand your numbers in when you help yourself to the free refreshments afterwards. Enjoy and have a good time. There will hoefully be a gallery of photos each week which are free to download. Results for each round and an updated league table. The course will be set of the hill side of the Country Park which has a great mix of all types of terrain from climbs, descents, singletrack, open sections.

You can also down load to your Garmin / GPS etc. Please note there may be small changes on night due to weather etc. Below a few pics from the venue inspection. I have been organising / racing @ Hetton Lyons Country Park for many many years and this is the best condition it has been in for along time. Nearly all of the over hanging trees/bushes have been cut back, the grass has been cut, singletrack sections cleared out, new singletrack sections added
