------------------

Round 3 - 18th May, Crow Hill, Ringwood, Hampshire, BH24 3DB

A classic singletrack course in the beautiful New Forest. Crow hill offers some fantastically fun and challenging singletrack in deciduous and coniferous woodland. 2008 will see a new course layout resulting in a clover leaf design to maximise spectating opportunities.

This venue will host the 2008 National XC Championships, the Southern Xc round provides the perfect opportunity for riders to inspect the course.
