Summer Soggy Bottom - round 3

For those of you who have not yet experienced a Summer Soggy, it’s a grass roots event with a very relaxed feel to it. Racing is open to all levels of rider, and faster riders are asked to leave their egos at home in order to help make the newbies feel welcome.

We’ve got a few end of series treats lined up for riders, as a thank you for supporting our little Summer races, and we’re working on a great lap that takes in most of the route from round 1 with a couple of tweaks here and there.

As usual, the main lap will be around 3km long and will include a variety of non-technical, flowing singletrack guaranteed to put a smile on your face. There’s a little bit of climbing, but we start and finish at the top of the hill, so we’ve kept it to a minimum.

5pm   Registration opens.
