Ian Warby of Firecrest MTB would like the world to know that the 2003 Aston Hill Downhill Series kicks off this Sunday (23 March). And even if you don't feel like racing, spectators are more than welcome - two quid per car for parking and that's it. Well worth a look if you're in the area, we reckon.

The other series dates are:

• Rounds 2 and 3 - 12 and 13 April
• Round 4 - 18 May
• Rounds 5 and 6 - 13 and 14 September

Aston Hill's a great venue, so head over there and give it your all...
