The Caersws Cup Series sponsored by Astrix Europe and Mojo Suspension heads into round 3 this weekend at Caersws, Wales and will form the English Downhill Championships.

There’s loads to ride for, aside from the presitge of becoming the English DH Champion of course, with a £1700 strix Havoc frame just one of the prizes up for grabs from the event sponsors.

The course will start on the original Midland track then picks up a totally new fast open swooping hillside section. The track has been designed to be wide to allow loads of line choices, and will enable the event to cater for all abilities.

There’s an additional £100 up for the fastest time of the day.

Work has also been going on to improve Uplift with new trailers to give a quick turn around and give people more runs down the new track. There’s free camping from Friday afternoon but get there early to pick the best spot, there is hard standing on the fire road for motorhomes and large vans or space in the finishing field for Teams to set up next to the finish line.
