The Blackhill Blast.

The idea behind this event is to give you the opportunity to try out some of the lastest and best new mountain bikes from the worlds leading suppliers, whilst also enabling you to directly compare them to your current bike.

To do this we have marked out an approx. 6 mile cross country mountain bike course that is suitable for all abilities. It consists of a few climbs, a few descents and some great technical sections and single track. The other important thing is it is rideable in all conditions.

What we suggest is that you ride the course once on your own bike, we will time you, and then take out a test bike of your choice and compare how it rides over the same course, in the same conditions, on the same day and compare your time set on the test bike to the one set on your own bike !!

You don't have to be looking for a new bike to take part, just take this rare opportunity to try out some new bikes or simply ride your own bike around the course as training or to see if cross country mountain bike racing is for you.

The entry fee is just £10.00*, so come and give it a go.  There will also be hot food and drinks available on the day.

N.B The entry fee is re-fundable if you purchase a cycle from Mud, Sweat & Gears during 2009

* £10.00 Pre entry, £15.00 to enter on the day.
