    Have you been out with Pennine FR from Royal, Hayfield on a Thursday eve 7pm? That can end up like a race if you want .... Or not if you don't. Someone there will point you at the local races or car share further afield. All abilities welcome/represented.

    See http://www.cs.manchester.ac.uk/~temples/hc/#diary - 3 races in October within a 10 mile radius of Hayfield.

    HTH, Steve

    PS - there's also one starting in New Mills on the 11th - see "Latest News" on that website...

    You could pick some entry level ones from here.
    Biriani for endurance, pathia for speed.
