Just a small explainer regarding the results, these are the lap times from the Elite men's race (Rnd 1 2024). If you press the "Show all" button you can see the individual lap times.
LAP: quite straightforward, each lap in order, lap 1, 2, 3 etc LAP TIME: This is how long each of the above laps took RANK: In your race, this is who did that particular lap the quickest, as you can see, Harry was the quickest on lap 1 and 2, then backed off slightly and Kieran was quickest on lap 3 BEHIND: This is how much slower you/the rider is behind the fastest rider on that lap. RACE TIME: This is the elapsed time for the race at each point of crossing the finish line. RANK: This is your position in the race on that lap BEHIND: This is how far you/the rider is behind the race leader at that point of the race.

What a great way to start the Travers MTB Series in almost perfect condition (except for the slightly boggy section at the top of the climb). You will find the results on webscorer, they are currently preliminary but will be confirmed tomorrow if nobody spots any issues.
Thanks to all riders who took part, there was no litter left on the course and also to everyone who helped and marshalled. Anyone new to the series, keep your number board/helmet tag for the entire series. The silicone zip ties are also reusable, so please keep those too (there is a £5 charge for replacement/lost number board, £1 for silicone zip ties). Photos by Basil Thornton are available here. Entries close at midnight Wednesday before each race, no entries on the day, It's great to see so many of you entered as soon as you got home. Gridding will be done on the series result going forward, and then new riders will be added after the date they enter (the sooner the higher up the grid you are). Round 2 course will be run mainly in reverse (course direction, you won't need to sit on your handlebars and pedal backwards!). We were a bit caught up with how dry and fast running the course was, meaning the lap times were shorter than ideal, so we will be adding a section to round 2 to extend the lap (and adding some passing places). Roll on round 2, less than 2 weeks away!
Entries have now closed for round 1, we will work out the number allocation and gridding today and possibly tomorrow. Rider packs will then be sent out to riders via email. If you need any information before then...race day timings are on the image below or this link
The postcode for the race is SS4 1PL, there will be banners outside of the entrance. The race venue is also on google maps, so you can just type Travers MTB series and it will give you directions. NO entry on the day. Those who have entered go to the Travers gazebo and pick up your handlebar number board and your helmet RFID tag. No need to sign on. You can also check out the Travers MTB Series Jerseys just £59. These are the final course maps. The adults (all categories male and female) are only going over the bridge, the adverse camber section by the lake is also in, as is the tricky lumpy climb. The new switch-back section near the start will be used for all categories except for the U7s
Conditions are very good, there are only 2 sections of moist ground that are only a few metres long and might well dry up before the race (adult course only, U12/9/7 course is completely dry). I was over the woods on my own today and with nobody to keep me on track, I started creating new trails!
Lots more trail clearing today, the course is looking perfect currently with no standing water. Roll on round 1
1 month today, the 14th April will be the return of the Travers MTB Series! Series entry is only availble before the first round.
https://www.traversbikes.com/enterfees.html The U7, 9 and 12s race medals are almost all done. This year there will be Gold, Silver and Blue options, the colours have no significance (its just the filamant I had left!) Can you collect them all? |
