Entries...are Not open today! There is a good reason for this, a lot is going on behind the scenes with possible expansion of the series. I don't want to promise anything here as there are lots of things that need to fall into place, venues, clubs etc. I have 6 dates approved for 2025 at Potash, but I want to hold back on announcing these to give us flexibility with accommodating other events. I can't put a firm date for opening entries other than saying it won't be later than the 1st Jan 2025. It has been nice seeing so many riders from the series at the CX races, especially in a more relaxed atmosphere without my organiser hat on.

A little video to get everyone in the mood for some XC racing Shut the front door! We are already half way through the series! And just 1 week to go before entries close for round 4! Enter  Most of the dates are now out for the 2023 season and sadly the Mountain bike scene has taken quite a hit in recent years with the amount of races available to ride.  Travers MTB Series 2023 The Travers MTB Series returns for its 10th year and will run for 6 races. We have introduced a Fun category in both the males and female classes making the racing and riding even more accessible to people new to the sport. Round 1 - 02/04/23 Round 2 - 30/04/23 Round 3 - 14/05/23 Round 4 - 28/05/23 Round 5 - 11/06/23 Round 6 - 09/07/23  Beastway return for 2023 Beastway is back, they have returned to a more traditional Wedneday evenings only. The series starts in May and runs every wedneday through to 28th June 2023 Its a great series, that is always well supported and run by the organsing team. Mille Maglia endurance gravel Great little event on open trails in Suffolk with 50/75 and 100km. Nice mix of road and gravel run by Mille Maglia 19th Feb www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details/276460/Mille-Maglia-GravelOff-Road-Sportive Crank It Crank it have two races in the SE in 2023
2 day gravel/MTB event over at the Hadleigh MTB 2012 Olympic track on the 22/23rd April and the Twisted Oak Classic in Suffolk on the 19th March. 2023 looks like it is going to be another cracking season, entries opened just 24hrs ago and the numbers are up on 2022.
Enter We have introduced a few new ideas for this year mainly the fun category, after all the whole idea is to encourage new people into the sport. There will be a fun category in both the mens and women race, the women fun riders will ride with the other womens categories, the mens fun has been split off into a seperate race along with L2. This should help everyone, the Elite/L1 race will have riders of similar ability which means it should take much longer for the front riders to catch and lap the backmarkers, the L2/fun riders also ride with similar ability riders without the worry of the faster riders catching and passing them. The U7,9,12 Youth/Juvenile and womens Elite/L1/Fun have no limit on rider numbers...with the help and amazing work kevin darragh has been doing encourage women into the sport we would love to break our current race entry record of 32 last year and break 50 this year. The mens races all have a strict limit of 50 riders per category. So if you intended to ride individual round enter earlier as the series entries is filling up quickly.  Just over 24hrs until the 2023 entries open. I will post the links tomorrow, I am sure many of you will be waiting up until midnight to enter! 😀
Few changes to note, there is a new "Fun" category in both the womens and mens races, you will get results for the day but no overall series position. The womens categories will all ride together, the mens categories will be split into 2 races to allow for better passing with riders of similar ability on track at the same time. Elite and L1 the followed by L2 and FUN. We expect the top 3 in every category (finishing series position) from the 2022 season to ride in the next category up, i.e. L1 top 3 move up to Elite. Demotions, we are not going to force anyone down a category because its tricky, just because you finished at the bottom of a category does not mean a great deal, you might have only ridden one round or be coming back from injury. We are leaving this down to you to make the choice but we do reserve the right to move you if after the frist round you are clearly dong lap times quick enough to be riding in the top half of the category above. Any women new or returning to the sport Kevin darragh will be running his "Women’s Rookie Race Squad" again in 2023. He is offering free training and advice giving you an easy route into the Travers MTB Series |
