MEN'S CATEGORIES
Racer: Aged 17+ in 2012 Experienced, fit and skilled riders only, our top category. If you have a BC Racing Licence, you must enter this category.

Weekend Warrior: Aged 17+ in 2012 You can ride a bike well, lots of experience, you probably go downhill faster than up.

Vets (40+) and Grand Vets (50+): Essentially a Weekend Warrior who is old enough to know better (if you are faster than that enter the Racer Category). Main course, start just after the Weekend Warriors and no real concessions to you being old and grumpy ;-). Don’t fancy the main course then enter the more relaxed world of the Have-a-go Hero.

Have-a-go Hero: Aged 17+ in 2012 You have the bike and the enthusiasm, but may lack experience or fitness (the course is shorter and slightly less technical and there are fewer climbs).

Lads: Aged 15 or 16 in 2012 Can ride for an hour and can handle a bike on the quarry trails.

WOMEN'S CATEGORIES
Racing Diva: Aged 17+ in 2012, you can ride a bike well, lots of experience on an MTB.

Have-a-go Heroine: Aged 17+ in 2012, you have the bike and the enthusiasm, but may lack experience or fitness (the course is shorter and slightly less technical and there are fewer climbs).

Lasses: Aged 15 or 16 in 2012 Can ride for an hour and can handle a bike on the quarry trails.

Please note! Whichever category you enter, if you are under 18 you must bring a parent, guardian or responsible adult and they must sign a consent form on the day.

Trade team: (You can sign up as a trade team at registration on race day) Just for fun series competition for teams with at least one rider who is the bike trade. Ringers allowed, sorry no ‘have-a-goes’.

Singlespeed: Ride and finish a main course category on a Singlespeed and you are in the pot for this subcategory prize.

29th June, 2012
Following the great success of race one which saw over one hundred riders take on the quarry trails it’s now time to practice the “race face” and get ready for more action in the quarry.

HOPE XC SERIES Round 2 REPORT

5th July, 2012
In contrast to the clear blue skies of race 1, race 2 saw the Bacup weather remind everyone that you can get four seasons in one day up on the hill. The rain tested both the organisers on a skeleton crew and the riders as the weather fluctuated between light rain and heavy showers before the start w...
