2010’s Events

December 2010 Duff the stuffing
Considering the amount of snow and ice around we had a good turn out of around 150 riders of all ages show for Duff the Stuffing this year. Due to the conditions in the forest only the short and medium routes were open to riders. Thanks to Mike Moore for pulling the event together along with all the TROG helpers making it a success for all.

Mud, Sweat and Gears Round 1 – May 2010
Having been approached by Sports Essex and British Cycling, TROG agreed to help them expand their previously 3 round series into a 6 round Eastern Region League, by hosting the opening round of the 2010 series.  Yet again we were let down by the elements, but the efforts of many members, most notably Andy Tyler, made it successful albeit muddy day.

Forest Fest – April 2010
TROG were represented again at Rendlesham Forests’ Forest Fest which provided an ideal place to test out the new promotional banners.

Wales Trip – April 2010
Once again there was a TROG pilgrimage to Wales, and around double the numbers of last year’s trip attended. The weekend saw minimal mechanicals and injuries and over the 3 days we completed the black run at Cli-Machx, The Beast at Coed-y-Brenin and the black route at Coed Landeglla.

Scouts – March 2010
Having been approached by the local Scout group, several TROGs offered their time and experience to guide them around the forest and an enjoyable day was had by all.

Club Annual Awards Evening – March 2010
Held at Fynn Valley Golf Club, the Annual dinner had grown from previous years and over 60 people attended, with many hard working club members’ efforts recognised. Ian France was awarded TROG of the Year and Scott Jennings received the Trail Builder of the Year award.

Thetford MTB Racing’s Winter Series 4 – March 2010
TROG, once again, worked with Thetford MTB Racing to hold a round of their race series, and once again it proved to be a battle against the elements!
