This Saturday it’s the West Drayton MBC night time cross country races at Black Park Country Park, the event features three classes - open and vets classes for those experienced in cross country racing and fun class for those new to mountain bike racing and the exhilaration of night time racing.
Start times are 7pm for the fun event and 7.50pm for the open/vets races; the racing at this venue always produces close tight races as riders tackle the winding single track and forest paths that make up the all weather circuit.
Generous sponsorship from headline sponsors Exposure have been backed up by further sponsorship from Beyond Mountain Bikes, Party Lights and the King William Guest house so some great prizes are guaranteed to be handed out at the post race presentation where free burgers and hot drinks will be provided to all the riders.
