Here’s a cool looking event to underline in your diary. It’s the brand new Mondraker Gravity Mountain Bike Rally, a gravity fuelled two days of riding around Exmoor on 15/16 September. And Fabian Barel will be riding too.

The Mondraker Gravity Mountain Bike Rally combines everything that is great in mountain biking and takes it to one of the best riding spots in the British Isles, Exmoor. Stunning views meet fast flowing trails to offer something for every type of mountain bike rider, timed downhill and singletrack sections will help us find a fastest rider but everyone will feel like a winner after a great weekend of riding.

The event kicks off from lunchtime on Saturday 15th September with qualification hot laps on a section of the Gravity loop trail. As we move towards the evening there will be riding and non-riding based entertainment, plenty of space for camping, music, a bar and a great chance to unwind and relax in the beautiful surroundings of the National Trust’s Holnicote Estate.

Sunday is all about the riding, the 30km gravity loop is stunning, three timed sections, long winding downhills complimented by climbs that reward you with a great view (and some refreshments en-route). If you are uber-keen then multiple laps of the gravity loop are permitted but for most one will definitely be enough.
