Horwich Humdinger Preview
Preview from organiser Dave Headon:
The leagues biggest and fastest course is ready for the epic contests on Sunday
You can expect the following:
– A huge wide course free of bottlenecks and ready to accommodate fields of up to 200 riders
– the fastest race you will ride all the cross season!
– the longest, widest and safest start area of any cross in GB, on grass park land.
– excellent spectator viewing, with most of the course to be seen from the finish area.
– 43 fast bends per lap
– 3 bankings per lap to ride
– 2 cambered sections, one being in the woods.
– fully taped off course
– lots of fast grass sections, some tree root sections, some dirt.
– a course free of puncture hazards, so bring your best tyres, and run the pressures of your choice.
– the excellent NW transponder system, masterminded by Len Woffindin, Rob Pugh and John Brailsford will be in operation.
