Horwich Humdinger Preview

Preview from organiser Dave Headon:

The leagues biggest and fastest course is ready for the epic contests on Sunday Emoji

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.
OTHER INFORMATION:
– on site car parking (please lock your bikes to your cars, so we don’t have any chance of any going missing)
– changing rooms with hot showers at the PowerLeague 5 building, where we also do the signing on upstairs.
– the forecast is dry at present
History has not been written yet, it’s up to you now Emoji
