This Saturday see the NDCXL make is debut at a new venue in Mansfield, Berry Hill Park, courtesy of Ashfield RC.
To support the continued growth of the NDCXL, Ashfield RC have volunteered to host a new event for the 17/18 season along with still jointly promoting Rd 11 with Fossa Racing at the end of the season.
There has been a long tradition of cross country running events at the Berry Hill Park and we are now hoping to start a long tradition of Notts and Derby Cyclo-Cross League events. The course is a mix of grass fields and wooded sections and is likely to be muddy!
Please don’t consider washing bikes in the lake as we have the same problem as last week with bird allergies to chain lube and crocodiles.
Parking is free and marshals will be on hand to direct you were to park. A one-way system will be operating on the day through the park. Please park and drive responsibly in the park.
This is obviously a new venue and a new (and young) organising team so please take that into account if there are any teething issues!
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated by the organiser Russ Forsdick so we can develop the event and course design for years to come. r_forsdick@hotmail.com
