Our first Brass Monkeys XC Endurance Series event, the Christmas Cracker, is coming soon on Sunday 9 December, and we are delighted to announce Four4th Lights as the Series headline sponsor. Known for their superb high performance, extreme sports lights – all designed manufactured and assembled in the UK - Del, Ali and the team will be supporting the events and providing their unique trophies and prizes.

This hugely popular Series uses outstanding venues and has 5-6 mile laps carefully set and prepared by our experienced team.
The event dates are: Sunday 9 December, Sunday 6 January & Sunday 27 January and each event will have full facilities, including a marquee HQ.

There’s a wide choice of categories. You just need to decide how long you want to ride for, and then complete as many laps as you can before your time is up.
Registration opens at 08.00 for the collection of number boards and the START TIMES are:
10.00 (finishing 12.00) All 2hr riders including Juniors (aged 14-17). Podium: about 12.10.
10.10 (finishing 14.10) All 4hr riders including Single Speed riders. Podium about 14.20.
10.20 (finishing 13.20) All 3hr Male Grand Vet riders and Fat Bike riders. Podium about 13.30.

These events are PRE-ENTRY ONLY and are limited now to just 300 riders. There is an ‘Enter all 3 events’ option, and those who do will be entered in a prize draw to be drawn at the first event.

Full details and online entry are on the Gorrick website and there’ll be regular updates on the Four4th Lights Brass Monkeys facebook and on the Gorrick Twitter feed 

Brass Monkeys is the massively popular Mountain Bike Enduro Series headline sponsored by Merida Bikes. Hundreds of riders enjoy our well established venues with carefully prepared courses that go through heath and pine woodland with flowing and testing singletrack mixed in with swooping trails and stone fire roads that wind through the wonderful Hampshire and Surrey countryside.

All you need to do is choose how long you want to ride for, and then do as many laps as you can in that time. You need to complete a lap before your time is up for it to count.

There's a choice of categories for riders aged 14+ including ones for Single Speed and Fat Bike riders. As well as each event being a standalone race with trophies, it's also a round of the Series, for which you need to ride and get points in every round to be in contention. There's podium presentations very soon after the end of each category finish, plus Series trophies and prizes at the last round too. Thanks to our generous sponsors a large number of spot prizes are also given out during the Series.
