Last weekend saw the 3rd and final round of the DTV summer series at Forest of Dean. The race was to take place on the newly built jumpy track, which consisted purely of big jumps and berms and lots of pedalling! After riding the track briefly on the way back from the BDS at Bringewood,[…]

TriStar Estonia 111 Triathlon
Race report from Phil Mosley Let’s be honest, Estonia probably isn’t on your all-time list of ultimate triathlon dream destinations. It wasn’t on mine either, until I met the race founder Ain Alur Juhanson at the Triathlon Show in Surrey a few years ago. He’s a former pro triathlete who once held the bike record[…]
Aston Hill Race – 25th March

Forest of Dean Summer Series Rd1

Halo BDS Round 5 – Bringewood – Curtis Saunders
Coming into this penultimate round of the nationals all I wanted to do was get down the hill without crashing, as four weeks ago I broke my collar-bone at the previous round of the Halo BDS at Moelfre. The track at Bringewood is like no other track I’ve ridden before making it incredibly difficult to[…]

UK Bike Park Race 10/11th September
With the new uplift track finished and the new track bedded in the weekend was looking good, however with rain in both the mornings of the event and the track being mostly chalk it meant conditions were very hard to find any traction and with spikes and swap-thing tyres out of the option because of[…]
