Might have a go at this on the mtb this year.
Any idea which level of licence I need to purchase?

Greg, cheers for post. What time on Sundays do these normally start and how long are they?
Probably wont make any this year though, dont have a suitable bike as yet plus Im currently on the kids swimming lessons duties early on Sundays.

The minimum to enter the league is a Bronze BC membership which acts as a Provisional Licence as well. A full racing licence isn't required for regional events.

Start time and duration depend on rider age. Durations for Senior Men, which I guess will be your category, is 50 mins and races start at 14.15. You'd need to be there a bit before that to sign on and warm up.

The current options open to me for CX are:
1) a 15year old Claud Butler Rock, which is heavier than Ayers Rock and the gears are knackered or
2) or a road bike
so would need something else I think. Although think a winter/training road bike is possibly a higher priority purchase for the next 12months
Great tyre name BTW!
