13th May | 20th May | 3rd June
Get ready for fast and furious off-road action. This is short-course mountain bike racing at its most exciting: a series of rapid-fire time trials over a tight, technical (ish) loop featuring everything from drop-offs and ramps to steep climbs and log rumbles.
Expect a buzzing atmosphere, a laid-back vibe, and the café open throughout for post-race snacks.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO RACE
-
You! - Whether you're a novice or a regular trail shredder, this is the perfect entry-level taste of MTB racing
-
Inspired by the gravity-fueled racing of downhill mountain biking.
Riders will be set off individually, racing against the clock around our technical course as fast as possible.
The fastest time from start to finish wins; this will require focus and careful line selection.
Riders will have open practice to learn the course and familiarise themselves before their timed runs.
-
These are grassroots, non-point scoring, easy going races open to all regardless of ability - although a reasonable level of off-road riding experience will help, so consider joining with one of our Youth ramps and Jumps or Cross country sessions or an Adult MTB session beforehand.
We have a limited number of MTBs available for these races if you don’t own an appropriate bike! Please book these at the same time as entering.
These are listed British Cycling ‘Go-Races’ so there is no need to hold a racing licence.
