Merry X-Mass Cup
St Ives Showground.
MWMTB are proud to present the second running Merry Cross-mass Cup. Racing will be Short Track format (15minutes + 1 Lap) with 2 barrier sections (one should be fast, the other will be on a carry) and if the storms continue probably a little bit of mud.
Bike rule: This year in addition to the Cylco-cross class, there will be a "Flatties & Fatties" Class for mountain bikers (Note the class name refers to the handlebars and tyres, not the riders).
MWMTB STXC & Cyclo-cross
St Ives Showground
Last time I convinced Rob to take his Celeste Indulgence off-road it ended in tears, lets see if he's prepared to give it a go in it's more natural environment (sans 1000's of screaming drunk Belgians).
CX racing will start at 6:30 & is preceded by Short Track XC - the event described by Paul Rowney as the Hurricane of Pain! Come to race or just to watch the Spectacle.

Dirty Double 'Cross Part II
Arcadia
I don't normally spam my club events but since Rob has a new bike (http://nobmob.com/node/2901) I thought it appropriate that we all encourage him to get out and use it as was designed (a short race with some obstacles and beer consumption with 'Cross dressing encouraged). The CX race will start at 2:30 and will go for 40 minutes + lap. Of course in the morning there are more tradional XC races.
