An exciting new race series for North East England is announced. Organised by The Bike Place who have sites in Gateshead and Kielder and in conjunction with the Kielder Trail Reavers who build and maintain the new mountain bike trails in Kielder Forest.
The series will have three rounds…
Probably the only UK race that is held in two countries! Starting in Kielder, heading across the border to Newcastleton in Scotland (and using the Red grade MTB trails) and returning to finish in Kielder, approx 60km. A shorter 22km course will be used for some classes.
