Round 1 2024 round up

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).

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!
