Hog Roast available on the Saturday night

The Lunchbox caterers will be providing food at the ride from Friday night through to Sunday. On the Saturday evening they will be providing a Hog Roast- there is no need to book. All of those who attended Cerne Giant last year will know how good their food is!


Number of entrants increased for 2008

This year we have increased the number of entries from 150 each day to 200 each day. With the introduction of the Pleasure Ride Trophy we hope to significantly increase the number of pleasure riders and non-members entering Berkshire Downs this year.


2008 Schedule

The schedule for 2008 is now available via post or e-mail.


Performance formula

There will be a performance formula competition on BOTH Saturday and Sunday, not just Sunday as printed in the omnibus schedule.
The following classes will each have an individual perfomance formula competition running alongside the normal grading system:

Saturday
2.78km CR
3. 65km CR

Sunday
10. 82km CR
11. 65km CR


Camping

Please read the schedule carefully it clearly states pre-payment is required for camping. Unfortunately, we are getting a lot of entries without pre-payment. Please ensure you pay for your camping with your entry. As a result we will charge £10 instead of the £8 if payment is not recieved prior to the closing date.

This year all people camping will be issued with identification tags confirming payment, these tags must be displayed at all times. These tags will be available from the ride secretary upon your arrival.
