We will be working out dates for the winter series very soon.
This years winter series will possibly start late October too😜
Possible track choices below:
R1 HSD
R2 PROPER JOB
R3 PROPER JOB INTO EGYPT SWITCHBACKS
R4 MASHUP to be decided
R5 MASHUP to be decided

All tracks will be suitable for all abilities apart for R5 as this year is going to finish on a harder national standard track.

So watch this space😜

RACING UPDATE!!!

The first 3 rounds of the 2026-2027 winter series will be based around HSD and Proper Job.
R1 will be HSD
R2 will be a mash up of HSD into PJ using already established lines and no fresh loam to turn into a bog in the rain.
R3 will be PJ

The remaining two rounds will be mashup lines using slightly harder sections but yet again no new loam to turn into a bog.

The races will run from October to March and there will be five rounds again.

All race lines will finish on the same fireroad as 2025-2026 as we never get enough marshals to go any further and the push-up becomes a total nightmare for some too.

Cheers Chaz and the team at WRR & GGH😎
