The racing season opens in March with our feared Hardriders event, posing a real test of a rider’s winter training efforts.
Starting at Wroxton, competitors head north west, descending the notorious Sunrising Hill to Ettington where they then turn around and retrace the route to HQ, climbing back up the hill which is 17% at it’s steepest. The winner is presented with the Broughton Cup.
Hardriders 2024 will continue it’s early place in the racing calendar, being held on Sunday 24th March with the first rider off at 0801. The race HQ will be Wroxton Village Hall.
Are you a hard rider? Then enter the event on the CTT website, you’ve got until 12th March which is when entries will close
Riders can defrost and refuel post-race with some of our home-baked cakes and a well-earned cup of tea at race HQ.
