Mountain bike racing at Bedgebury 7th June

Mountain bike racing at Bedgebury 7th June

There is an mbt race at Bedgebury on Saturday 7th June. We are not being represented formally as a club but would be pleased to see any of our members racing there. Details below. 

Go-Ride interclub. Round 5 of the go-ride interclub series hosted by Bedgebury Forest CC is on Saturday 7th June 2008. Venue and how to get there: Bedgebury Forest off Lady Oak Lane the B2079. To get there take the A21 and after passing by Lamberhurst look out for the B2079 on your left–off the A21-which is at the top of a rise in the road and signposted Bedgebury Forest. The site is on your right when on the B2079. At car park: To avoid paying £6 parking for the day tell the person on duty that you are taking part in the racing –might be useful to have a club jersey handy to wave. Signing on: The route to the signing on position will be signed from the car park and it is some way from the car park so if parents/supporters are on foot allow plenty of time to get to the signing on/race start area (same spot I believe). I suggest 20 to 30 minutes if walking. Sign on and practice from 10:00. No sign on or practice after 10:45. Bear in mind there could be quite a queue at sign on. Race start times: Under 10’s and under 12’s will be run separately and before the main events, so be don’t be late. All other events – under 14’s right through to veterans etc -will start from 11:00 with all these categories being on the circuit at the same time some point during the racing. 12-14 year olds (juvenile) will race for approx 35 minutes and 15-16 year olds (youth) approx 45 minutes.  Entry fees: there is no entry fee for under 10’s and under 12’s. The youth and Juvenile categories will have to pay £5. Don’t forget to take your license. Medals: We aim to present these on the day.  For those not familiar with Bedgebury there are woodland walks in the arboretum, bike hire for the forest family trails and ‘go-ape’ for those wanting to travel through the trees on wires. Regards Eddie LandGo-ride interclub co-ordinator.
