Well this has always been one of our aims to get a Downhill race back at Wentwood. It seems as though we have succeeded in that aim. Thanks to a partnership with the newly formed "Simply Downhill" We are able to bring you a new race on Sunday 1st March 2009 here at Wentwood. The race is push up only im afraid but an uplift route has been found which takes about 30-40minutes and not to tiring.
Entry varies from £20-£25 depending on category and there is no BC licence needed to race. Medical cover will be supplied by "Extreme medics" and proper timing systems will be used recording you best run.
For more information and to download the entry form visit www.simplydownhill.co.uk

The "Simply Downhill, Wentwood Trophy" is kicking off this sunday 1st March. All places have been taken and entries closed last week with 200 competitors taking part. Si Paton will be there doing a write up for www.pinkbike.com as well as the photographers and videographers to snap the day. Saturday is off limits for the track im afraid as we tape it up and do any other work which is needed. Practice starts at 8am on sunday when all marshals are in place.
See you there . . . . . .
Have you sent your entry form off yet? If not then get yourself over to www.simplydownhill.co.uk and print yourself off a copy. Send it off with your money and get yourself in. Although the race isn't until march we want to try and get a large amount of entries in by the end of January. So if your entered make sure all your other riding mates know and get them in on the action as well. You can have your own personal battle with your mates on timed runs of the course, with medics on hand in case you push it a bit to far.
Our new Video section is now online, you can view it through our pics+vids section and it includes high quality videos from Wentwood And other local MTB Events.
I have uploaded all of my images from the day here. If you find yourself on them then contact me and i can give you the original copy.
