Work on the new BEC round at Helmsley North Yorkshire has progressed very well over the last few months, we have a 42 km course, that’s 80% virgin going, most riders would assume that a trip to North  Yorkshire would mean bogs,  wrong this venue is 100% bog free, the forests are well drained on a limestone gravel base, the course takes in the best features of  The Duncome park estate, steep valleys , dry stream beds , long woodland trails, only  1 km is on forestry roads . The fully graded 6 km special test winds its way through the trees starting and finishing at the same point, the special test is only 1 km from the start and offers good car parking and access to crews and spectators.

The start area has been carefully selected by the club to provide a good base to camp with easy access for any vehicles the 300 meter camp site runs alongside the road with no fences.

From the start there is an 8 km run to the 6 km special test at the end of the test is the out check this loop is easy on time to allow for refuelling and the test, from the out check back to the start 28 km will be brisk keeping the riders on their toes.
