Down Hill Bikes
We have added two new categories this years after the growing demand from riders with full on down hill bikes who want to give it a go. With all the tracks now getting steeper and faster a full on DH bike can be used in the Down Hill Bike Category.
40+ Veteran
Now this is even more impressive the old guys want to get in on the act!, So if your 40+ there is no reason not to come and race that national series title.
