INTRO

A summer evening mountain bike XC Series for riders of all ages and abilities. Whether you want to keep fit, try short course riding or race competitively these events are for you - although you don't have to ride in them all to get points.

Each week will feature a different 3km/2mile course from the previous week, so that the Series works for all riders. Based on our 30+ years of experience, we'll ensure a great riding experience. Sign up online easily now for all 4 and you'll get a tasty discount or you can enter individual rounds as online entry opens. You can sign up at the event for an extra £2 if you haven't signed up already.

There's a First Timers/Casual category for all riders who'd like to see what mtb events are all about, so why not bring a mate along?

THE PREMISE

Come along and ride/race for 30 or 45 mins over a 3km/2 mile course. You need to finish a lap in your time frame for it to count.

Series Points will be awarded for attendance, results and special Bonus Points can also be won for other achievements.

From Round 2 riders will be gridded from the Leader Board. Your best result from 3 out of 4 results will count and there'll be Series trophies and prizes to be won.
