Racing, events & uplifts
GENERAL INFORMATION
Uplifts will run from 10.00am until 3.30pm.
The Hopton Woods venue has three separate Downhill runs suitable for riders of all abilities. Trail bikes are suitable. The tracks don't have any big features, all drops/jumps are rollable.
The trails are all natural surface, so are rooty and potentially slick when wet.
Hopton is also home to our own XC loop, this is a permanent loop, like a trail centre loop but natural surface all the way.
We will arrange a shortened loop which you will be able to cut into from the uplift.
There is no strict agenda, everyone is free to do just what they want to do, have a run when they want and rest when they want. No pressure, No stress.
We will have food on site for the demo day and also a pressure washer.
Orange Bikes are bringing their full range of full suspension bikes and ebikes.
Merida will be bringing their excellent trail bikes and their electric MTB's.
Nukeproof will be along with the worlds fastest Enduro bike for everyone to ride.
Specialized will have their Turbo van with their Levo test fleet with all sizes of Levo to test.
