Muddy Mondays
Starting on Monday 21st May Barnesbury CC are organising the first weekly MTB league to be held in SE Northumberland with the help of Bernicia Housing Association and Start Cycles. The league which will run for 10 consecutive weeks will include races for youths as well as senior riders. Racing will start at 6.30pm (youths) and 7.30pm (approx) for senior riders at Gallagher Park, Bedlington (closest post code NE22 7LA) – access is adjacent a detached house opposite Tesco car park.
Youth riders will take part in a skills test, an off road time trial and a mass start MTB race each week. Points will be awarded for each event in each age category. Riders accruing the most points over the 10 weeks will win the overall league. A prize presentation will take place after the league to award the prizes. All those riders who have taken place in six or more events will qualify for a cash prize.
