Simba racing have just sent us a reminder that they’ve got two events on in Dalby forest this weekend.

Saturday (July 6th) sees the Hill climb round of their challenge events, with riders timed over three runs up what is temptingly described as a “very strenuous, long slow climb” somewhere in Dalby forest. The tortuous process starts at 10am although there’s entry on the line if you suddenly feel all self masochistic towards the end of this week.

The winners will be decided on combined times and receive cash prizes.

Hopefully this will offset the pain in your legs as you line up for Round 3 of the SIMBA summer XC series on Sunday where they’ll be kind enough to throw in some downhill as well as uphill.
