uplift this weekend - what are you waiting for!!??

Spring is in the air and the distant sound of the MONSTER Ukbikepark uplift machines can be heard at the bottom of the hill.....yes, uplifts for the year have started!! Join us this Sunday 1st March for a post winter blow out riding the best the park has to offer. Expect to 10+ runs in an fun filled day of uplifting. If your a student getting ready for BUC's we recommend that practice makes perfect epically on the track we have for you guys! Remember we've also been busy creating some new features at the park including a mini Duel course and improvements to the BUC's race track plus the creation of a bit challenging single track for the XC guys. Refreshments hot/cold will be available all day including the amazing 'mum's cake' - (the original and the best!) Sign in from 9am, uplifting starts at 10am, 1-2pm lunch then finish at 4.30pm. Car parking in the field next to the cafe and uplift drop off. Conditions in the park getting better each day with the trails in a tacky condition.

Member uplift £20 - non member uplift £25 - If you are a non member the price includes you day pass. Online booking is the only way to prepay/book - pre booking highly recommended as often the uplifts are booked out (we don't like turning people away!)

See you all Sunday

This weekend saw the second of the ukbikepark/torico winter races with £100 up for grabs, cash prizes for each category and BC points also enticing a few more names out of the woodwork. We saw a great weekend of racing with a large French contingent making it over to race and endure the rigours of a British winter race. For this race it was push up only ( uplift is being rested for the winter as more upgrades are being made to the uplift track and vehicles) however there was plenty of cake on offer and no one seemed to moan about the lack of uplift ( maybe the entry fee of £18 made it all the sweeter?)

The racing was top notch with Will Soffe, Ashley Mullane, Liam Mason, Ben Baker and Lee Huskinson all in contention for the £100. Special mention must go to 6th placed rider Ludovic Oget, he was mixing it up with a few elite and expert class British riders and was flying all weekend. I'm sure we will see his name pop up again in bigger races in the future. In the main event Lee Huskinson managed to keep his gob shut for a few minutes (love yer work Lee!) and put 3 seconds into second place torico/ukbikepark rider Will Soffe who managed to pip Ashley Mullane who is back from long term injury.
