Bedgebury Forest Cycle Club has just announced Insomnia, a new 12-hour endurance night race on 18/19 September.

Following a trial with limited numbers last year, the largest MTB Club in the South East has teamed up with The British Heart Foundation to offer a competitive challenge whilst raising money for a very worthwhile cause.

500 riders will race on a 8km course using the best bits of the Bedgebury singletrack as well, the organisers tell us, ‘secret’ parts of the forest.

The race will be fully supported with electronic timing, light charging facilities, camping, catering and a fully marshalled course.
