Iron lemming 2002. June 15th -16th
The hardest iron lemming yet!

This year’s course, covering 117 miles and over 12,000 feet of Welsh mountain,
ensures the Iron Lemming keeps its slot as the top endurance ride in the UK.
Taking in the Brecon Beacons, Black Mountain and a massive circuit of mid
Wales the 2-day challenge should be the target for any rider looking for
the ultimate ride.

Wight Diamond Challenge June 1st – 4th
The traditional Wight Diamond programme has grown by one day this year and
has introduced a new one day race.

The two day WDC will be followed on Monday by a new event called
King of the Hills. This is a 5-hill timed challenge that has full categories plus single speed. And for the drinker that reckons he can climb hills there is the SIS Hedstart challenge.
As part of this event you must drink at least 5 pints in the bar the night
before the event and then a pint of Hedstart before setting off – so
proving the power of the SIS sports and hangover cure – Hedstart!!

In between the racing there will be lots of side events, and live music
every night. These include, the 24 minute red cow mini-bike marathon, 3-a-side Bike football, wellington boot bike throw, cheese racing and ‘beat the clock’ tube blow.

The Wight diamond is three days of great racing but it also promises to be one of the best
parties of the year, don’t miss it.
