Now that Derbyshire is in “Tier 4: Stay at Home” and South Yorkshire is in “Tier 3: Very High Alert”, running the Winter TT’s has become problematic. The races remain open, but crossing the county boundary to do so is against regulations. Derbyshire residents have to opportunity to fill their boots as the majority of the January Winter TT’s are in that county. Residents of South Yorkshire have the Pike Low TT to go at from near Langsett. It is hoped that everyone will have the opportunity to run all the races as and when restrictions are eased. There are also plans afoot to create some more South Yorkshire races.
Upcoming events:
The January Winter TT’s are:
1st to 8th January – Barbrook Blast. Mike Nolan’s annual hangover cure. This is in Derbyshire.
Until 31st January – Blackden Skyline TT, which includes the best (IMO) running descent on Kinder. This is in Derbyshire.
Until 31st January – Moz’s Birthday Run TT. A DPFR classic. This is in Derbyshire.
Until 31st January – Triple Crossing TT. Another DPFR classic. From the Ashop bridge below the Snake Inn. This is in Derbyshire.
