There’s less than a month until the 2011 Ritchey Oktoberfest kicks off in Ashton Court, Bristol, so the organisers have sent us this course preview to whet your appetite.
Oktoberfest marks the launch of the new 9.5km Ashton Court trail, so here’s what you can expect on October 15.
“We filmed this just minutes after heavy rain,” Ritchey Oktoberfest organisers told us. “So you can see with your own eyes how weatherproof, fun-packed and twisty this new course is, but still with plenty of overtaking lines.”
Entries
Ritchey Oktoberfest will host an eight-hour race, with open, 40+ and single speed categories, available to solo riders, pairs or teams of 3-4 across across male, female and mixed divisions.
There will also be a four-hour race, with open and 40+ categories, and entries again available to solo riders, pairs or teams of 3-4 across across male, female and mixed divisions.
