Thursday 14th October
7.30am sign on for the Pigs Race
Cyclists assemble at the end of Eagle Court on the gravel area. The Pigs race is a timed 1 hour circuit race around a 3km course. Each time a lap is completed the rider throws a pair of spotted pigs and obtains a score based on how they land. The score accumulates with each successive lap however there are some rolls which will wipe out your score for that lap. This fun race is based as much on luck as it is on skill!
