We have had some complaints from round 3.
People with dogs, please pick up after them, someone was seen in the area with the caravans letting their dog do their business and then walking off without picking it up, this is unacceptable.
Cable ties, when walking the car park field I found 3 piles of ties cut and left on the floor where clearly the number board had been taken off.
This field is normally used for horses, please take your rubbish home or take it to the bin by the signing on Gazebo. Can I please remind people not to ride in or through the caravan area to access the course, only enter the track from the start finish area.

Race Day Information

No On the Day Entries
Due to the massive pre-entry for the series and the difficulty taking payment On the Day due to Covid restrictions.
Entries will now close midnight Friday and this will be the same for all remaining rounds.

2021 Rules and Entry Details

The Travers MTB Series will no longer be held under British Cycling Rules and Regulations, this frees us up to run fairer races where riders can compete against riders of similar ability rather than similar ages. This change also allows us to also makes changes in other areas which will be outlined below.

In 2021 there will be chip timing, the chips are on your Number Board, the same number board will last the ENTIRE Season - If you lose it/Forget it you need to buy another which will be £5

There will be No signing on! You just need to collect your Number Board at the first event you race. You do not need to sign your name at each race.

Under 9 and under 12 races
Regarding payment of number board because of the way the software works for the timing it cant tell if you have previously entered and thus charge you £5 or offer a free entry. If you have previously entered a round and paid the £5, you have nothing more to pay. If this is the first race can you send £5 via PayPal to info@traversbikes.com
Changes for 2021:
To encourage more riders to take part the series will be FREE!
You will need to enter the Race or Series as normal but there is no Fee to Pay (Except for the number Board)
It was a little complicated to add the Number Board Fee to the free entry...so I have added a entry fee of £5 to round 5 (the final round) and all of other rounds are free, so no matter when you enter the series you will pay for round 5 and this will cover your number board. You will automatically be entered for all 5 rounds.
