Round 4 of national XC at Pippingford Park seen two of our very own club members take on this venue. Held by UK National XC Series

charlieracesbikes was very happy with his first genuine top 20 at national level, especially as he felt he raced well and finished ahead of some very strong riders. Always hard to compare to others as one of the youngest kids in the age group but he felt that he raced to his true level and learned lots from the experience.

Tom 🚴 : said.:.

I came 15th in the expert category on a fast, climbing course. I had a good start and worked my way Into the race after having some time out of racing with illness. Looking forward to the end of the national series now with Margam fast approaching

Also a big shout out to Dartmoor Velo who also took part in the nationals with brilliant results 🎉 ❤️ Penmellyn Vets Reynolds & Slater Eyecare | Independent Opticians Magicshine®UK Official Youth Sport Nutrition MACDONALD’S FARM

Fun racing for all and making a difference.

What is XCR?

XCR! A brand new format invented by our off road team to encourage new participants and give regular racers the chance to try something new..

XCR - New - Cross Country Rapid!

Shorter than an traditional XCO in distance and time, with roughly a 3km lap over 45 mins, but longer than 20 mins of XCC so you get more of a feel for a longer distance race.

This is perfect for mountain bike newcomers to racing and great for the enthusiasts who like to push themselves into new things.

Try XC MTB racing without having to pay full fee for XCO races and slog it out for 90 mins!

For just £12 a race and £6 for U8, U10 & U12's, have some summer evening fun in a no pressure racing environment.

Results for each race will be given per race but only a podium for the overall after 3 races have concluded.

If you're bothered about results you must complete 2 of the 3 races for a series result.

Race dates are, June 20th, July 18th, & Aug 1st.

Course practice/sighting lap from 15:45

Races,

U8 16:30 (15 min race)

U10/11 16:50 (20min race)

Everyone else 17:20 (45min race)

Dates :

Round 1 - June 20

Round 2 - July 18

Round 3 - August 1

Who will become the inaugural Wheal Jane XCR Champion and who will be doing their first ever XC MTB race!?

On this day, 82 years ago, the world witnessed the largest seaborne invasion in history. Nearly 160,000 brave Allied troops landed in Normandy, and around 4,400 were killed on D-Day.

Today, we remember their sacrifice by enjoying the freedom they helped secure for us. We'll ride our bikes and wear a poppy in their honour.

For many of our young people, the World Wars are becoming distant history. With so many veterans and brave individuals now having passed away, they will not have the opportunity to hear real-life stories for much longer.

In the hostile world we live in today, please ensure that future generations always remember their sacrifice and the price that was paid for our freedom.

Lest we forget.
