Soggy Bottom round 2

Round 1 of this season's Soggy Bottom Series promised mud and delivered.  If we were to hold round 2 today you would describe the course as dusty - only time and the good British weather will tell whether this will hold true for the 15th December.

Loyalty card holders

Our loyalty card holders will be able to claim their first reward at round 2.  You must bring your card (with your name written on it) to claim your gift.

Loyalty card prize draw

There will be a prize draw at round 3 for any card holders with 3 Soggy Stamps - we'll be drawing cards out of the hat to hand out some amazing prizes.  Up for grabs will be:

A pair of custom race rims and spokes (value £260) provided by Velo Smith

Rear shock service (value £75) provided by RSF tuning

Fork service (value £75) provided by RSF tuning

Soggy Christmas Tree

We'll be getting all festive around our Soggy Christmas tree.  We'd like you all to bring the tackiest Christmas decoration you can find to help us decorate it.  This will provide a beautiful backdrop for our podiums, and who knows, Santa may even drop in!

Soggy 2 course

For Christmas we are giving you the gift of some Newnham classics.  We'll start you off by going up the Cliff Climb (boooo!), then swing you through the bomb holes, up towards bluebell woods, through the invisible bluebells and back out via a new and improved version of the exit (now buried under a world of dead tree), back through the bomb holes (don't worry - we have thought this through).  We'll then throw you down Cottage return and back to the arena along the little river track.  Once again - no wet feet (you're welcome).

Number boards

You will be given new number boards for round 2.  Please do not use your old number board as it will mess up your result.

Online entry

You still have time to pre-enter.  Follow the links here.  Pre entry closes at midnight on Wednesday 11th December.

We know you can't always pre-enter so there will be entry on the day (£3 extra).

Under 12 registration

Our Under 12s race entry is looking very healthy.  Don't forget to register if you have not already.

Brain Tumour Research Bike jumble

If you need to make space for the new bike Santa is bringing you this year, you can sell your old kit at the event in return for a £5 donation to Brain Tumour Research.  Come and see us at registration if you would like to set up a table / sell a bike.

Round 2 prizes

Our prizes have kindly been donated by Summerskills Brewery, Trail 42 and Juice Lubes.  Categories may be merged if there are fewer than 5 competitors present, but British Cycling points will always be awarded by your category position.
