Carlton Grange Plantation, Helmsley, North Yorkshire - 27th November

RideoffroadUK kick starts the winter events schedule with a visit to Carlton Grange near Helmsley in North Yorkshire on November 27th.

 Last used in June, the Carlton plantation was graded and prepared for the final round of the BXCC which was eventually cancelled by the ACU due to lack of entries.

 The weekend starts on Saturday with a Wayne Braybrook Cross Country Training School, this is limited to 10 riders and is very heavily structured around teaching new, ride easy techniques to Sportsman and Beginners.

 Sunday sees a Youth race starting at 8.30am running for 90 minutes, this will be followed by one adult race for all Adult classes starting at 10.30am running for two and a half hours.

 The lap time has been extended since our last visit to include around 3 extra minutes of tracks and trails around the Helmsley venue which have never been used before, this means riders can have a fresh new challenge before the winter weather really bites. Hard Standing parking means no delays for competitors once the finish flag is waved, the course is 100% all weather with no bogs or stoppers anywhere.

 Entries are available on line at www.rideoffroaduk.co.uk/events  Or by calling Sonya Braybrook on 07576 095137
