This was a really popular event last year. The one, two or three lap options attracted beginner & elite riders alike, all going as hard as their level of fitness allowed!There were dads that did a lap with a child before hooning off for another lap or two at race-pace, some for whom it was their first time in a mtb event, others that just saw it as a fun way to work up a sweat before retiring to the beach for the afternoon.
This year, on October 8th, promises more of the same. More FM will be firing up the loudspeakers and the barbeques, there's a free beginners mtb workshop being run by wheel woman, Emma Bawtree, and a swag of spot prizes to be shared amongst competitors.
Marty Clark will have his Way2Go portable skills course in action and the pump track can also help keep young'uns entertained while you throw down a scorching lap. Or maybe just line them up for a free Talleys ice=cream...
At just $5 for U14s, $10 for others or $20 for a family group, it sounds like a pretty cheap Fun Day out to me!
