Did Sherwood Pines a few years ago and kind of enjoyed it, I think there used to be an event near Graves Park but I get the impression it is not being run now.

Is there a league or casual event series to tag on to?

Thanks

Rick

The Yorkshire cx league might have a couple more events left. I'm in sheff and did the Wakefield, Leeds and Halifax rounds in Oct/Nov this year but was restricted to ones I could get to by train.

The Sheffield round was cancelled this year.

Novice entry ('Go Cross') was only £7 which compares well to running events I've done and allows MTBs. Not sure if the points league allows MTBs. I rode my pompino singlespeed and had fun.

I'll def be doing the summer rounds. Also considering this Adventure Cross series I've noticed.

There's also a Derbyshire/Notts league I think.

N&D are at Bakewell next Tuesday, but entries have now closed - you need to enter 5 days in advance for that league (a daft idea I think). They have 2 more races in January, both in the Nottingham area.

There's a couple more left in Yorkshire Ilkley and the last of the league races at Barnsley which was a supermodder last year.

Also Novacross on 1st Jan at Knaresborough if you are hangover free.

Remaining Notts/Derby events are Broxtowe (awesome, technical course with singletrack, cambers, mud, running etc), and Chetwynd (stiff climbs, fast descents). Both 'within' Nottingham to all intents and purposes.

Both guaranteed awesome 😉
