Race 5 course clues
Due to the faillure to find a tyre/ tube sponsor ………..
We don’t normally reveal any clues about the course but after the devastation to the field in two races we can tell you that “puncture alley” (if you have raced these events you know where this is) is not part of the final course.
Hopefully we’ll get more finishers now!
It’s not our event but you should still enter!
Mary Towneley Loop MTB Challenge Sunday 19th September 2010 starts 9am
It’s the annual event for a great cause. It’s 47 miles of up and down and raises funds for the team.
The Mary Towneley Loop is a 47 mile circular section of the Pennine Bridleway. The entire route is way marked and easy to follow, the riding surfaces mainly good on tracks, newly created paths and trails or minor roads, and involves approximately 6300 feet of ascent.
The loop takes in some of the best scenery and off road biking the South Pennines have to offer, traversing the hillsides and crossing the valleys between Rossendale, Burnley, Hebden Bridge, Todmorden and Rochdale. It crosses high exposed moorland and is a strenuous, demanding day out. A good time would be 7 hours but it has been done in just over 4 hours. All riders must be over 18 years old, or over 16 if accompanied by a parent or adult guardian. Entry is £15 for pre-registration or £20 on the day.
It starts at Fearns School, Fearns Moss, Stacksteads, Bacup, OL13 0TG
£15 pre-entry £20 on the day, an entry form is downloadable via the link below.

Race 1 photo’s
Polaris Apparel have jumped at the opportunity to sponsor the Lads and Lasses category.
Polaris have been involved in UK mountain biking from “back in the day” as the purple jacket in my loft will testify to. Its great to have such a well known team on board suppoting our events and racing in the North West.
Thanks guys
New sponsor!
Express Asphalt have offered hi-viz jackets and trousers to keep the marshalling team warm.
We will also be able to do small jobs such as drives, minor roads……… Only joking!
