Round 5 – Port Sunlight Wheelers ‘Cross / Bebington Oval – Preview

2 comments

Once again, the Port Sunlight Wheelers welcome you back to The Oval, Bebington for another day of racing with the NWCCA on Sunday 22nd October

THE COURSE

All races will once again be held on the fields behind the Oval, with a very similar course to previous years but with a few little tweaks & adjustments to make the most of terrain. However, it won’t be the fast dust bowl of previous years due to the rain of late so you can expect the hard ground of last year to be a little bit softer this time round. The pits have been improved to create more room for bike changes & cleaning

RACE REGISTRATION
