I did the final round of the Thetford Winter Series, my first taster of this stalwart of the local MTB calendar.

I opted for fully geared in the end, and I'm glad I did! The fourth
climb up the double-shocker was a proper thigh-burner! I'm reasonably
pleased with 37th (of 131) but now realise I needed to make more of an
effort to get past people on the opening fire-road section. The long
crawl around the single-track on the 1st lap was pretty frustrating; the
2nd lap was great through, plenty of passing and could flow nicely
around the course.
That's my 1st (non-D2D) Thetford race and I
thought they'd made a great course. The rain had only mullered one or
two sections of single-track and Howes Pit, other than that I thought it
was running well.
Found a few pics of some of us;
