Mud, Sweat and Gears 2012 - Series Information

I have the pleasure in announcing Mud Sweat and Gears 2012! We hope you are as excited as we are about what we have planned for this year and we look forward to seeing you on the start line at the first round in April. Our new Mud, Sweat and Gears website is live with all the information you require to enter online and compete in our races!

Eastern Region MTB Series offers riders of all abilities the chance to test their fitness, nerve and bike handling skills at five great courses throughout Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk. The series brings together established venues such as Thetford Forest and Tunstall Forest alongside exciting newer courses, so whether you like free flowing trails or a tighter, more technical circuit, there is something for everyone.

13th May – Thetford Forest – Incorporating Regional Championships

With the feedback we received on last years series we have made some changes to the categories and the start procedures.

For 2012 the Warrior category has be renamed as the Open category for both male and female riders. The Open category is aimed at those new to racing and those of us who have other commitments on a Sunday. The Open race will last approximately 1 hour with a race start of 10am.

We have added both a Junior (17 to 18 years) and a Master (30 to 39 years) categories, both male and female, after listening to feedback and the growing demand for these categories.
