Cannock Chase Summer Classic
8th July 2012
Following the success of the co organised Midlands XC Cannock Chase Classic back in March, Run & Ride are once again promoting a Mountain Bike event for all on one of the best places to ride in the UK, Cannock Chase. The last event was good but we think we can still improve so expect a cracking event.
It all started with a few comments being made by riders on the usually Tuesday night ride about how when June rolls around, there aren’t any local XC races. “Do something about it they said” so we had a think and as we and the riders seemed to enjoy the March event in the mud, rain, and snow surley with a bit of sun (it will be summer!) we could improve event. So after a meeting with the Forestry Commission and a good look at the calendar we came up with a date – July 8th 2012.
