The British Cycling Elite Circuit Series kicks off this coming Saturday, May 17, with the Hillingdon GP, incorporating the Edgware RC Ian Dyas Memorial Race, at Hillingdon Circuit, West London. The 50 mile event has over 70 riders entered and with races for other categories, a big day of racing at the West London circuit is expected.

Ever wondered what Olympic Talent Team mountain bikers get up to during training? We hooked up with a bunch of them a few weeks back at Shropshire's Lodgewood Park for a day of skills based training, a whole load of mud and heaps of fun.
