The FAT FACE | National Mountainbike Championships

 

Moelfre, Powys 14th to 16th July

NACC Events has announced the schedule for this year's National Mountain Bike Championships. With the invaluable assistance of title sponsor FAT FACE (www.fatface.com) they will bring together four mountain bike disciplines in one weekend for the first time. The weekend will feature Downhill, Cross-Country, Floodlit 4X and Trials. This festival of British Mountain biking will take place at Moelfre in Powys from 14th to 16th July.

 

Floodlit action from last year's FAT FACE 4-Cross at Moelfre

 

Action starts on Friday morning with downhill practice. There's also floodlit 4X finals on Saturday evening after most Cross-Country Riders and Downhillers have finished their practice and to help the mood along and encourage you to stay, Corona beer are sponsoring the 4X, followed by a huge firework display and Fat Face/Corona party.

 

Action then starts early on Sunday morning with the Senior XC and the culmination of the trials competition followed by at lunchtime the top downhillers as a climax to the weekend. Hopfully most of the Saturday riders and spectators will stay over to watch the cream of British Mountain biking talent competing to become British National Champions on Sunday Morning!

 

The venue has a proven high speed downhill track, and challenging 4X course and now has a very challenging Cross-Country course. The newly built XC course has a long steep punishing climb and very technical high speed descent included in it's length.

Entry forms (in jpeg and pdf) and online entry, full timetables and directions are available @ http://dm27.com/nps06/serv03.htm

 

There are huge camping fields on site, toilets and catering, commentary from the inimitable Chris Furber! Don't miss it!

 

The British Cycling National Championships are supported by FAT FACE, Corona, Cloud Cover and Chain Reaction Cycles.
