Racing News
Upcoming events - including new e-bike event
by Jane Lucas, 26 Aug 25.
We hope that you've been enjoying the Summer trails. We've been looking ahead to the Autumn/Winter, and here's what we have planned, including a new event for e-bike riders. It's a longish but informative read, so well worth it. If you're a valued regular, you can just go straight to the CALENDAR and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
We'll email again in September with further details, including highlighting our incredible sponsors who help to make our events what they are.
