Last weekend saw 500 racers tackling a frozen course at Tunnel Hill in the second round of the Merida Brass Monkeys enduro, and now that we’ve just about recovered from the joyous singletrack heavy course and sub-zero temperatures, we’ve got some lovely photos to share with you.

Photographer Dave Hayward was on hand with his camera and took these fantastic photos you see below. This is just a selection, if you want to see if he snapped you, point your browser at his gallery www.davehaywardphotos.com/Mountain-Biking
