Fancy yourself as a bit of a 4X hero or heroine? Best get your entry in for the National 4X Championships (August 9/10, Hornton Hill, Banbury) – entries close on Monday. Get in quick and you could be lining up alongside the likes of Scott Beaumont, Will Longden, Nigel Page, Dale Holmes and Martin Ogden…

The organisers are particularly keen to get a few more girls to enter, as they could do with a few more riders to make it a competitive class. Entry forms are available on www.nps4x.com or www.britishcycling.org.uk.
