It's been that long since we had a proper thrash, that even we're considering racing this weekend - but which one, Oooh decisions decisions..... Starting in the bottom left hand corner of the country, the excellent Newnham park course hosts the second round of the XC National points series. In South Wales the drunken chaos of the Singlespeed World championships kicks off on Sunday. For those who like their events longer and navigational rather than follow my leader, there's a Trailquest up at Sherwood pines, it's a 3.5hr event and more details can be had from 01433 623667.

Over in Dalby Forest, the newly formed 'SIMBA' series hosts it's second round of racing. More information from Steve on 07718 313346 but only after 6pm or on Saturdays please.

If anyone knows of anything we've missed please get in touch and we'll update the news for later in the afternoon.
