With just over a week now to the TORQ 3-6-9 and we can tell you that the course is in great shape. Due to the recent hot weather, it's quite dusty, so no worries about the predicted showers over the next few days as it will dampen it down nicely making for much better racing :)

So, it's less than 2 weeks now to our last ever TORQ 3-6-9 event. Chatting to riders, everyone has one that is particularly memorable - let us know what yours is, and we'll share some of ours...
Here are a few images from over the years, can you spot yourself??
