Cross Country Eliminator at Cliffhanger Festival this Weekend

Taking place at the UK's biggest outdoors festival, if you've been inspired by the exploits of Annie Last (at Houffalize*) and Kenta Gallagher (at Nove Mesto**) now is your chance to get in on the action!  This is the newest Mtb discipline on the block, combining the speed and intensity of 4-Cross, with the tactics and endurance of XC.  Run over a 750 metre obstacle strewn course, 4 riders start each 3 minute heat and the top 2 progress through to the next round until the field is whittled down to 4 riders to contest the final.  High octane Mtb racing and a real buzz to take part in and watch! This is a British Cycling ranking race with categories for all riders spread over Saturday 6th July.


* at Houffalize:

** at Nove Mesto:

Each race is run on a first come, first served basis with a maximum of 24 riders per category (except the Under 13's which has a maximum of 40).  Contact midlands_xc@hotmail.co.uk if you wish to reserve your place before race day.  To take part you must have a working mountain bike and a CE standard bicycle helmet.  Access onto the course is only allowed once you have signed on and attached your number board to your bike.  There is a 20 minute open practise session before each race commences.
