[brillo451]

The Annandale Cup ... the Longest and Fastest Gravity Racing Course in the British Isles … will again be raising funds and awareness for UCAN - www.ucanhelp.org.uk

The gravity time trial will take place near Huntly in Aberdeenshire on Saturday 29th / Sunday 30th June 2013.

In the second year of the Annandale Cup we have made some changes :
These include running the event over two days !
Moving the start line for Soapbox/Carties that cannot ascend "Molly's Mount" without external assistance. These Soapbox/Carties will be awarded a Bogey time for the first part of the course so no pushing this year !

Three miles from Huntly, the course starts from above the village of Thomastown and is 3 km long with a drop of 140 metres, average gradient of 1 : 21 with a maximum of 1 : 8 and finishes in the hamlet of Annandale.
Speeds of 60mph + are easily attainable. This event is open to all gravity disciplines. Overnight camping available Friday / Saturday / Sunday . This event will be organised by BIGBA ( British Isles Gravity Bike Association).

It is with great regret that here at BIGBA, we have had to cancel Annandale Cup this year on Saturday 29th June 2013 and Sunday 30th June 2013 due to a variety of factors and also due to circumstances out with our control.

The main reason being a lack of competitor entries which meant that the event was no longer viable or feasible to run. We did not take this decision lightly as we realise that many of you will be disappointed as you are all very passionate about your gravity racing.

Once again so sorry that the event has had to be cancelled, but roll on 2014 when hopefully we will have a full complement of gravity racers willing to take on the challenge of the Annandale Cup course.
