The International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) will have a stand at this weekend’s race and will be contributing to the prizes. They said…
“IMBA UK will be attending Hit The North 3, with members available to chat all day.

IMBA UK are the only organisation solely representing mountain bikers in the UK. We work to open new trails and keep access to existing routes, we do this by supporting volunteer trail work, cooperating with trail user groups, land managers and public bodies, encouraging responsible riding and trail building. We are a non-profit group, which is managed and facilitated by volunteers. We are funded entirely by our members and supporters.”

IMBA UK will be providing prizes for all categories this weekend. Visit www.imba.org.uk for more information or search for us on Facebook.

Competitor’s Information

Thanks for entering, here is some information that will help the day run more smoothly.

Briefing – 8:50

Race time – 9:00 – 9:40

Presentation – 10:15 approx

Adult Race

Sign in – 8:15 – 9:40

Briefing – 9:45

Race time – 10:00 – 12:00

Presentation – 12:45 approx.

Kiddie Race*

(Youth C/Under 12)

Starting at some point after 10:00 in the start/finish field.

*This will be organised by British Cycling on the day when they have an idea of numbers. There is no entry fee.

DIRECTIONS

The postcode for the park is M45 7QJ. If your sat nav is cheap and rubbish and gets confused you need to leave the M60 at junction 17 and head north up the A56. After about half a mile take the fork to the left past McDonalds. It should be able to guide you in from there. If you don’t have a sat nav and are going to use maps and common sense you will be OK.

PARKING

Limited parking on site is available, but we pack them in tight and cars will not be allowed out of the car park until after the main race has finished and the course is clear of riders.

If you are in the Youth Race or wish to leave before the end of the main race you need to park elsewhere, either on the road or at the Rugby Club.

Parking on Site

On arrival please follow the road down through the park to the competitor’s car park. If you want to put up a gazebo please do it in the start finish field, not the car park. If you can car share or find an alternative method of getting to the event (such as riding your bike to it) it would help as car park space is limited.

Parking on the street

If you want to park on the street please use Philips Park Road to the right of the park gates out of courtesy to the local residents.

Parking at Sedgley Rark Rugby Club

Parking is available at Sedgley Park Rugby Club* just before the park  gates. There is a £1.50 fee payable to the car park steward on arrival but that will enable you to use the changing rooms and showers (before 1:00pm).

*This is subject to there not being an unforeseen fixture pile up in the week preceding.

SIGN-ON

After parking please sign in at the British Cycling tent on the main start/finish field.

Please try and be early to avoid delays.

Numbers and pins will be issued at sign in. These are to go on your left sleeve and on your back. If you don’t want to put a pin through your cycling top bring some tape or an alternative method of fixing.

BUTTIES

Hot food and drinks will be available for the duration of the event.

DRUM and (E FLAT) BASS

Radcliffe Brass Band will be providing gritty northern ambience so bring some spectators. They can listen to the brass while they hold your coat. We’ve got a samba band playing out on the course too to lift your spirits at the top of a particularly nasty climb.

LOOS

Toilets are available in The Barn Centre.

PLASTERS

First aid control will be at the start finish area. First aiders and a support vehicle will be out on the course.

AND FINALLY

Make sure that your bike is in good working order.

Helmets must be worn at all times when on the course.

Bike changes are allowed, but only in the pit area next to the start/finish.

Expect it to be cold, wet and muddy, so dress accordingly.

Good luck! See you on Saturday 4th.

New for Hit the North 3 is the ‘Fat Cat’.

Let us know on the day if you’re riding one of those snow bikes and you’ll have a category all of your own. Imagine that – you get to race your 2 wheeled behemoth against other fat bikes without the expense of flying to Alaska!

(we reserve the right to NOT include you in the Fat Cat if your bike isn’t fat enough!).

You never know, it might be snowing in February. It won’t seem like such a silly choice then, will it?
