The 3rd and final round of this Winter's Soggy Bottom Series takes place this Sunday at Newnham Park.  The weather can't get any worse than it's been recently (can it??), so let's assume it's going to get better!

Online entries remain open until Wed 8th January at midnight.  You can enter on the day too, but it will cost you an extra £3, so it's better to pre-enter if you can.

Below is a little summary of what's in store at this round:

Loyalty card holders
With 2 stamps you will collect your Soggy trolley coin keyring - you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!
With 3 stamps you will collect a funky Soggy half pint glass

All riders with 3 Soggy stamps will also get to put their cards in a draw for some amazing prizes provided by RSF Suspension and VeloSmith:
•Custom race rims and spokes (value £260)
•Rear shock service (value £50)
•Fork service (value £75)

We will make the draw and announce the winners during the presentation for race 1 - so make sure you are there to be in with a chance to win!

The course
The course will be different again to the first two rounds, and with any luck we'll have our first Sunny Soggy of the winter. As you know, the weather has been pretty terrible lately, but have designed the route to keep you on hard stone based tracks for as much as possible - let's not beat around the bush though - you will get muddy!!  The course crosses the river twice - using bridges both times.  For new races and novice riders, don't fret - we don't put scary stuff in the Soggies, it's just good old fashioned off road fun.

Rockets and Rascals
When you've finished your race, you'll be able to warm up with a treat from Rockets and Rascals in the forest - on hand to offer you home made cakes, steak sandwiches and proper nice coffee.

Free under 12s racing
Don't forget to bring the nippers along for their racing at 1200. The races are free, but that doesn't mean it's not serious stuff for those involved! Register for the races here.

Brain Tumour Research Bike Jumble
Got something bike related to sell? Bring it along in return for making a donation to Brain Tumour Research (the collection tin will be in registration - don't be shy!).

Series winners
The majority of racers are there for the personal challenge, but some of you will be looking to claim one of the 18 Series trophies up for grabs.  To see if who is in with a chance, check out the series standings here.

How to enter
You can enter online here. Entering in advance saves you £3.
Online entry closes on Wednesday 8th January at midnight. After this, you'll be able to enter on the day, but it will cost you the extra £3.
