Description
Round 2 - SUNDAY 5 January 2025
As the premier XC Endurance events in the South, the hugely popular
Brass Monkeys Series is held at outstanding venues which are highly
suitable for XC endurance racing on 5-6 mile laps. Each course is
carefully planned and prepared by a very experienced team, and you'll
ride through heath and pine woodland with flowing and testing
singletrack mixed in with swooping trails and stone fire roads. You
just choose how long you want to ride for, select your age category and
then complete as many laps as you can before the time cut off.
In line with British Cycling's current policy: transgender women,
transgender men, non-binary individuals and those whose sex was assigned
male at birth will be eligible to compete in the Open categories only, and should ensure that they continue to adhere to the
requirements of UK Anti-Doping. Those whose sex was assigned female at
birth are also able to compete in the Open categories if they so wish. The
Female categories will remain in place for those whose sex was assigned
female at birth and transgender men who are yet to begin hormone
therapy.
Categorys are defined by your age on Sunday 16 February 2025 and will be:
2hr Open Junior 14-17, Open 18-39, Open 40+, Female 14-39, Female 40+,
3hr Open 18-49, Open 50+
4hr Open 18-39, Open 40+, Female 18+, Open Single Speed 18+
These friendly events have full facilities. Each event is a stand alone race
with trophies, but it's also a round of a the Series, and you
need to ride
and get points in every round to be in contention. There's podium
trophy and prize presentations very soon after the end of each category finish, plus
Series
