A dry and sunny day in the forest north of Brandon in the Grimes Graves area, with a huge combined entry of over 405 riders including at least 8 from West Suffolk for the second round of the Winter Series.

Various race times from 1 hour up to 4 hours for the different categories, with all races being started between 10.30 & 10.50, so very busy with all the way round the 13 kilometre lap.

A great mixture of route & surfaces with no mud whatsoever. A large percentage of narrow single track interspersed with some little used grassy fire breaks, gravel forest drive & 3 “bomb hole “ pits thrown in for good measure.

Results below: 

2 hour Male (123 starters)

Jamie Wightman 10^th

2 hour veteran male (137 starters)

Darren Davis 6^th

Paul Watson 18^th

Matt Eaglen 64^th

4 hour male   (31 starters)

Malcolm Borg 15^th

1 hour  male “Fun”  (43 starters)

Garth Collier 4^th

Robin Lines 13^th

Dick Lines 29th

The next local MTB race is the next round of the excellent 5x3 grass roots series.
