Group Briefing, Warm-Up and Course Recon

All ages to meet at the Judge’s Hut for a briefing to discuss both MTB Races AND Skills Challenge events

A FEW REMINDERS

Allow enough time to get signed on, fit a transponder and number board, do at least 1 recon lap of the course, and get to the start line at the judges hut. Plan accordingly to avoid stress before your race.

Make your way to the judges hut at the apron in good time so you are fully briefed on the rules for MTB.

Riding up will NOT be permitted. If you’d like to understand why, read this

Be absolutely clear on permissible bikes and equipment – follow this link here for more.

All transponders must be returned immediately after your race.

There are NO other activities other than Club Champs happening.

Provisional results will be posted as soon as possible. Please don’t distract the time keepers!

IMPORTANT

Make sure you are well fed and watered before the session, dressed accordingly for the weather, and most importantly HAVE FUN!

AFTER YOUR RACE…

• Return your transponder – if you are using a Club mountain bike, be sure to remove this and bring back to the clubhouse.
• Do not come into the clubhouse with muddy shoes or kit. We’re hoping for a mud free session, but regardless we ask you to dust yourself off outside and make sure you don’t leave a trail of mess behind you. Bring a few bin bags along to put any muddy shoes and kit into, and remember the spare clothes to change into.
• If you use the change-rooms ensure you clean up any mess you may make. A bin liner makes an ideal personal changing area – just stand on it when you get changed, and leave your muddy kit inside it. That way you keep floors clean and can put the dirty kit in your bag keeping that clean too!

Dismantle Course & Clear Up – 12pm

The circuit is in use after our event for adult races and we would be grateful for parent volunteers to help with the clear up and collection of stakes and tape from the grounds. The more helpers we have, the sooner we all get to go home!
