In case anyone is interested in meeting up - the format is an uplift day on the saturday, followed by dh race on the sunday, camping on site. I'll probably go for both days, weather depending.

All the details are on the UK Bike Park website

I did one of these races last year on my XC bike and had lots of fun, it is a very relaxed race and not too scary. So if you are thinking about trying DH and want a friendly event to have a go at this could be it?

Also you can do either uplift day or race or both, or just come along and get a day membership to ride if you want to check it out without paying for the uplift. You only need a full face helmet if you want to race.

Any takers?
