as far as rules go they will be cribed from other events such as belchford so most machines will comply already
these will be published very soon on a dedicated page on ukgsa
nice to see so much interest and support

we are also looking into a dam access road. Use to to do hillclimbs there back in the 90's.....always wondered what it would be like to race down it .....it's very steep and very twisty, with one particular corner that drops off into the stream at the bottom of the dam wall.....its a long way down there, I know someone who crashed down it ! Think it about 1/2 mile long....we used to go up it in about 34 seconds, and were hitting around 60 on the long uphill straight. The lads who could ride were doing nearer a ton.

My intention Andy is to definitely do Dalby Forest (Or whatever you run) as I felt bad not being able to be there this year. You know what an old softy I am when it comes to missing out on my fair share of the hugs. ;D Border Bogies is a must for much the same reason. Catterline is too close to home to miss and Cairngorm holds major personal challenges for me that I have got to sort out. The possible new venue at Aberdeen sounds great and I would have to go to that if it happens. The only way I will afford to do all that is to stop smoking so I have enrolled in a smoke cessation project and start next week.

hi, we have just competed in our first ever gravity bike race at Belchford Downhill Challenge 2012, and we were going to do some more events around the country and were wondering if there is going to be a 2013 event? if so, what date? Attachments:
