Chris is having a very strong second half to the season and just missed out on winning the event after a hard fought battle with professional athlete Sam Gardner. 

The Gorrick team have worked tirelessly to establish TORQ 12:12 as one of the ‘must ride’ enduro event on the UK calendar. 

Its feels like the start of the season was only a few weeks ago, but this years Marin Expsoure Dusk Till Dawn, Britain’s original 12 hour night time mountain bike enduro is upon us – an event that brings the packed summer of enduro events to a close…

Dusk Till Dawn is a great opportunity to race some of Thetfords fantastic network of singletrack in pure darkness as a pair, team or for those brave enough, as a solo. 

Chris has been working hard on his training and as you will note from reading this article, it is really starting to show dividends. 

Chris decided to have ago at one of the growing number off-road triathlons that are popping up around the country. 

Dave Mawhinney and Martin Goodlad took to the start line of one the biggest races in the UK with 1300 athletes toeing the line. 

Martin has been concentrating on the longer stuff this year but decided to have a blast out at a sprint triathlon a week before his main event Ironman UK. 

Last year Nick won the Hillingdon Duathlon series and hoped to retain his title again. 

It’s not everyday that TORQ’s Performance MTB Team riders get chance to represent their country in an event that is critical for the development of the Mountain Bike Race at the Olympic Games in 2012. 

Three of our triathlon team got together and competed in a run relay race over the magically distance of 1mile. 

Bontrager 24/12 is rapidly becoming the UK’s premier endurance mountain bike event, providing an unbeatable combination of the legendry course on offer at Newham Park in Plymouth and an excellent laid back atmosphere in the pits and expo area. 

Chris general races draft legal races as an elite triathlete.
