Galloway Hillbillies Bike Club - This year, we are introducing a 7 hour Endurance Event to our events calendar, following ten successful years of the 10 at Kirroughtree. The route will be around 7 miles in distance, taking in red/blue trails, forest roads and the odd natural section.
The aim is to complete as many laps in the 7 hours as you can, with an extra 20 minutes to complete your last lap. This must be started by 16.40 and must be finished by 17.20 to count. The highlight being Kirroughtree's fantastic singletrack (and some natural of course) winding its way around the Galloway Forest Park.
Course route map, info & stats will be released closer to the time.
Registration 08:00 - 09:30
Race Briefing 09:50 on the Start line
Race Start 10:00
