We've got a number of exciting new events coming across the patch in the near future. The first one is the 'Ard Rock Enduro in North Yorkshire on the 29th and 30th of June in Swaledale. Combined mountain bike Enduro and All-Mountain sportive in the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park. The exclusive route takes in 100% natural rocky descents incorporated into a big day out in the Dales. One off access to private land means 'Ard Rock Enduro takes in gnarly, rock strewn terrain only rideable in their event. Chip timing system provided by industry leaders SportIdent. There will also be camping, a BBQ, beer and spot prizes from event sponsors Santa Cruz, Hope and Mavic.
More info at www.ardrockenduro.co.uk.
Following on from that we have Dirt-Trax bank holiday wild camp at Cockhill woods across the weekend of the 23rd to 25th of August.
Your first chance to come and ride the new DH trails, camp on site, ride the trails from your tent, gorge yourself on roasted pig on the Friday and Saturday and get to meet the guys who've put their money and effort into the trails. Prices range from £ 15 for a day pass to ride the trails including one hog roast dinner (and an additional free day pass to ride the trails later) to a mere £ 48 for the privilege of spending the whole weekend on site, 2 pig roasts and 50% of an annual membership.
All proceeds go back into the trails and help to cover the already significant outlay the trail builders have made from their own pockets. For more info and to buy tickets up front go to their Facebook eventpage.
Alternatively you can contact Wayne on 0775 518348 or email toinfo@dirt-trax.co.uk.
Next up we have another new event, Escape to Gisburn Enduro on the 29th of September. A 1 day event with 3 stages taking in some of the best singletrack descents in Gisburn including Homebaked, Swoopy and a brand new section just fro the event. Sponsored by Escape Bikes and run by PMBA sponsor Borderline Events, the entry fee will be £ 37 which includes event entry, parking and your number board. Overnight camping will be available on the Saturday at a cost of £ 7.50 per vehicle / tent. With a BBQ planned for Saturday and Sunday this should be a cracking event in the heart of Gisburn Forest.
More info and online entries can be found on the Borderline Events website.
If that's not enough for you we still have three rounds of this years Hope XC series run by Brownbacks Racing coming on the 7th of July, 8th of September and 13th of October.
