Share on Facebook Share on TwitterPublished: 11th February, 2011
Roll up! Roll up! The circus is in town! Coming to locations across the South West, RaceFace Circus of Dirt is aimed at riders of all ages and abilities. The series has a unique format that offers something for anyone that loves to ride a mountain bike. Taking in some truly stunning woodland courses, from totally new venues like Hustyn´s Wood in Cornwall to old favourites like Plymouth´s Newnham Park.
Each event will follow the same format* with a, Sunday morning trail rider friendly, 1hr or 2hr Enduro Challenge followed up by an afternoon of British Cycling affiliated Cross Country races. Each event will deliver a fun day of bike racing paired up with courses that deliver technical but hugely rewarding terrain.
One unique element to the series is 'Rookie Rides' a free Enduro entry and skills training session for new mountain bike owners. It is open to anyone that purchases a bike from participating shops across the South West region this summer.
Shred Events Director Maddie Horton is delighted with the way the series is shaping up, "Our goal has always been to widen the audience for XC racing and riding in the region. The point of the series is simple - to get everyone with a mountain bike to come and ride and if you don't have a mountain bike then go and buy one in a local shop and we'll give you your first ever mountain biking event for free."
