The Club is targeting a few commercial events during the year, and would like to get as big a group of riders as possible to attend. We’ll take along the Club gazebos and make each event a big ‘Club day out’. There are two parts to this event, a demo day similar to our own Hargroves […]

Note: This event, originally scheduled for May, has now been moved to September. Erlestoke remains an MBSwindon firm favourite and we have teams enter every year. Maybe it’s the chance to ride on a super course only open for this event or maybe it’s the great atmosphere. Whatever it is, it comes highly recommended by
The club is usually well represented at Bikefest, and we hope this year will be no exception!

We really enjoyed the Erlestoke 12 race in 2013 (and 2012 and 2011). It’s back for 2014 and at the same great venue; a wooded hill on land owned by the MOD near Salisbury plain. There’s a choice of 12 hour and 6 hour races plus categories for solo, pairs, teams of 4 including male, female,

This is the first race event to be held at Haldon Forest near Exeter. It offers 10 and 20km route options that will take in several laps. So it’s not going to be particularly epic. 20km will take between 1.5 and 2 hours probably. More information on the Mudandsweat website. Facebook event page.

Over the last two years we’ve entered teams in the 12 hour races at Erlestoke, Bristol Bikefest and Bristol Oktoberfest. We’ve also entered teams into the 24 hour races at Twentyfour12 and Sleepless in the saddle. We’d never got round to riding Mountain Mayhem, billed as “the biggest 24-hour mountain bike endurance event worldwide” (Wikipedia article). This
