Six Round Race Series 2008   Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Hi Guys things are looking great for DH racing in the south next year....

We have alot more planned for the coming year, with uplifts most weekends at the park and 6 race DH series . We are also looking to build a 4x track this winter with input from local racers (Steve Atkins  and Lewis Lacy  ) The 4X races will happen on the same weekends as the DH races and will take place on the saturday afternoon/evenings of the uplifts enabling racers to also race the DH on the Sunday. The number of 4X races is yet to be confirmed. The track will be a mountain bike track! - I have been getting feedback from as many racers as possible as to the design of the track but we also want to ensure its fun for beginners too.

We are also planning a hardcore enduro race weekend . This will be a major summer event with a 4hour enduro on the saturday, 4x saturday evening and DH sunday. The enduro is going to be techy and not for the faint hearted . We want to make the enduro event a proper mountain bike race with tech sections to test everyone !

The dates are as follows:

13th 14th april
10th 11th may
1st 2nd june -possible enduro DH 4x triple header weekend
19th 20th July
6th 7th septmebr
4th 5th October

More details will follow but what we can ensure is 6 completely different tracks, fun prizes, great food ( especially mums cake!) and a great atmosphere. If you havent been to one of our events then where have you been ?

We will also be hosting many demo days with bikes from Commencal, Felt and Iron Horse and we have also just done a deal with a major supplier of clothng and hydration systems so expect to see some prizes and more news soon...

We all live in Somerset/Wiltshire/Dorset, the only tipple we can legally consume is cider. And as one of the necassary 5 a day is also good for you and will make you race better the next day!

Oh we'd love to, but it looks like now we're going to be hard at work on other stuff at the park over the winter, races are like a big work vacume that just sucks your time up!  Grin

Our first proper year will be ending soon and we have a shed load to get ready for next year!........so until then, it's going have to be boring old Uplifts!  Smiley
