Hot MTB Challenge: pre-event news

It's Hot Challenge time this Sunday 17 June 2007 and the route is all set, with some of your old favourites and some newer trails, plus we have worked in even more of that superb singletrack in the 'Woods'. Riding conditions should be near perfect with just a touch of rain this week to keep things soft and the dust out of your eyes.

All the regular facilities will be available at the Pavillion in Vernham Dean with plenty of parking and toilets, event registration (ENTRY ON THE DAY is always available) and refreshments including piles of home made cakes and our usual BARBEQUE.

Start times are between 9am - 11am and many of you may want to get going early to finish in time for the afternoon with the family as it is Fathers Day. All riders will set off with a full colour route map and a TORQ Energy Bar to keep you going between drinks stations, where you will find TORQ Energy Drink and water. Guy Swarbrick will be around the course to capture your image which will be available for download or purchase in the week following the event.

Remember that ALL entrants of this years Test Valley Tour events will automatically be entered into a PRIZE DRAW to win a GIANT bike courtesy of our sponsor PEDAL ON. The venue wil be signed from the A343 at Hurstbourne Tarrant between Andover and Newbury.
