Every race I've done at Thetford so far would be perfectly doable on a CX bike.
Are the races usually held on the established trails there? ( Limeburner & Beater ) or are things mixed up a bit?
Not sure I'd fancy the Bracken Pit on a CX bike. Everything else would be ok.

Usually a mixture of the existing marked trails and some other unmarked bits in my experience. That pit is definitely doable on a CX bike - I've seen it done. Admittedly by someone with far more experience on a CX bike than me. It's easier now they've put those rocks in place than it was before, when it was just a wall of sandy soil you had to scrabble up. With those rocks in place it's really just a question of carrying enough momentum to take you up and over the top.

You've seen me do this on the CX bike, it's totally fine :)

Is this for the Kings Lynn MTB winter series? If so, which one(s) are you doing?
Edit: Successfully stalked you. Round 3. Hoping to be there myself. Same race, different category.
Can't help on gearing I'm afraid. I ride at Thetford quite a bit, but always with gears. So far. I wouldn't worry about a short stem for handling technical sections though, because there won't be any. Every race I've done at Thetford so far would be perfectly doable on a CX bike.
