Cross Country & Enduro Racing

Home > Racing

Mountain bike racing has been popular for over 20 years and Gorrick has been at the forefront of racing in the south of England since 1992.

There is no more powerful thrill than racing a mountain bike against fellow competitors – the chase and be chased effect – the riding at intensity that pushes your reserves, leaves you drained, telling yourself never again, then that afterglow that will bring you back time and again. The legacy of racing at such intensity is improved fitness and improved bike handling skills that no amount of every day riding can possibly give you plus the chance to meet with literally hundreds of like minded people.

Gorrick can offer you a wide range of cross country mountain bike racing, from our traditional format classic racing, our hugely popular Spring Series events now running for well over a decade, and long distance enduro's....

• Spring Series
• Autumn Classic
• Gorrick 100 Enduro Challenge
• 12:12 TORQ in your SLEEP
• Merida Brass Monkeys Winter Enduro Series

Our events attract large numbers of riders from across the south of England, who are fully supported by a computerised results system providing position and lap time readouts on the day, race commentary, hot and cold refreshments, trade stands, Paramedic Ambulance safety cover, mobile marshalls with radio link, toilets and free parking on hard fire roads. There are plenty of vantage points for safe spectating, so bring your family and friends.

Spring Series Races

A five event open cross country race series held on Sundays during January to May. The series sponsor for 2010 is Saddle Skedaddle who specialise in cycling holidays.
