Preview: Horwich Humdinger 4th Sept 2022

We can’t wait, cross is nearly here and Horwich CC are really looking forward to hosting the opening round of the NWCCA 2022-23 season back at Leverhulme Park, courtesy of and with the support of Bolton Council!

Even in Bolton its been dry for the last few weeks but we are expecting showers over the weekend so hopefully we will have some cross like conditions, it will be a typical Leverhulme course, pretty fast with some technical challenges.

Some housekeeping…

Parking….please park considerately within the confines of the Park if at all possible and if you can’t find space, please park with consideration to the local community, don’t block drives etc, the support of the local community is critical to the future of the race. Particular care would be appreciated along Long Lane which runs parallel to the park, thank you!

Security…

Its a public park, so please take care with bikes and personal items, keeping vehicles locked and bikes secured at all times, regrettably we have had thefts before, please be vigilant!

Coffee & Cake…

We are delighted to welcome the Pink Tipple, a mobile coffee van on site, who will be providing coffee and cake, accepting contactless and cash! They’ll be on site before the first race, please give them your trade!

Sign On/Registration…

This is located at the Leisure Centre, not the main entrance, but side entrance next to the running track.

Public Park…

Leverhulme Park is very popular, so please be courteous and respectful to all visitors and we have access to the toilets in the leisure centre next to registration. Furthermore, the local community have taken great pride in re-wilding areas of the park, please be respectful and protect these areas.

Senior, V40 & Junior Men – could we ask a favour?
You are the last race, we would really appreciate your help after the race helping us take the course down, if everyone could spare 5-10mins after the race bringing in a few stakes and barrier tape each that would help us enormously, thanks in advance!

Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday! Horwich CC
