With a lack of races in the last few years, the Gorrick Brass Monkeys Series overdelivered on expectations. With races at all 3 of our favourite trail spots, it was a trilogy that the Mossa crew would relish. Round 1 First up was the ultimate in XC MTB trails; Porridge Pots. Year round drainage, [...]

Regional Champs – Southern XC at Crow Hill

A few days away in Cornwall with the family and friends was possibly not ideal preparation ahead of Round 3 of the Southern XC Series. A couple of coastal rides kept the legs ticking over but I didn't feel overly sharp as I arrived in the New Forest, en route to home from North [...]

National Marathon XC Championships

Manx100 - was it meant to be? Heading up the M6 fully loaded with the Lavington brothers aboard, a text came through from the ferry company that our 11am crossing from Liverpool to Douglas, Isle of Man, had been cancelled. Liverpool or Cannock Chase? With the race starting at 0600 the next [...]

First race of 2018 and it’s back on the 29er!

After a season of honing my racing skills on the road bike, the first race of 2018 saw the return of the 29er to the XC circuit over at the Brass Monkeys event hosted by Gorrick. Stripping off - Brass monkeys! 3 degrees with clear skies meant a chilly start but after a warm [...]
