Nantmawr changes
By TMX Archives on 18th Jun 08
WOR Events have released info regarding this coming weekend's events at the awesome Nantmawr Quarry, near Oswestry, Shropshire.
The track building team started work on Monday after planning a new and fresh five-mile loop around the huge 300-acre site.
The circuit will have some really flowing open mountain trails that twist and turn their way back to the quarry basin where a brand new taped ‘special test' area will be set out on the quarry floor.
Some technical sections will be thrown in for good measure and riders can pretend they are David Knight for the day as Tough Memories will be in abundance.
The superb Cross-country loop will be flowing and suitable for all abilities and skill levels. Riders can take the easy option in most sections but some harder, though quicker routes will be available as well.
Rolling trails that sweep through the greenery and woodland sections are in tip top condition and the big circuit really has a bit of everything. Ride time will be around 15 minutes per lap.
One of the hugely popular Race Experience Days will take place on Saturday, catering for riders who want some quality ride time in a safe and professional environment to hone their riding skills with unlimited practice, a mini one-hour race and training and advice if required.
On Sunday, round three of the TBM XC series (formerly the Gas Gas UK XC) is the main attraction. A two-hour race on Sunday morning (9.30am) for all the intermediate classes – Sportsman, Novice, Youth etc., and then a three-hour (start 12.30pm) off-road feast for the Pro riders through to the Clubman and Championship Veterans.
To enter any of the weekend's activities is really easy, a simple phone call or e-mail gets you in and a race number issued for the weekend.
Ian Smart is the event's secretary and can be contacted on 07944-378 432 or by e-mailing entries@ worevents.com
Places are filling fast but there is still plenty of room in all the classes.
Entries open right up till race kick off without any hassles.
