Erlestoke 12 pairs , After getting lost me and my son found the event hidden in the long grass, it was loverly and hot as we set up and prepared for the pre lap before the event,
With 500+ waiting we were off I sprinted round the arena to find i had left every one standing and my team mate telling me to slow down and friends saying go go, was second fastest round that lap as I slowed down a bit, then did alternate 4 fast elite rider Laps passing people then slowed a bit then sped up at the end to finish 3rd. looking bit green though

After its success last year Erlestoke Twelve is back!
This year there will be a Twelve hour option and two Six hour options, one starting at midday and the other at 6pm. The event can be ridden as a Team, a Pair or Solo. There is also a Singlespeed category.
With so many options available we feel that this event will suit everyone's needs. Whether you're a hard core Soloist ridng for 12 hours or want to take it easy in a team doing a 6 hour there is something for everyone.
The course consists of a 7 mile lap offering fantastic mountain biking including fast tracks, grassy inclines and descents and boasts almost 50%, fun, technical wooded singletrack leaving riders grinning from ear to ear!
