Huddersfield Brewers Magic Rock are running a one day mini bike festival on July the 10th, with a variety of things to see and do. Among them, 24h racers and Singletrack forumites Richpips will be showing a video and doing a Q&A, Singletrack alumni Dave and Sim will be showing their latest RADventure film, and Magic Rock will be launching a new beer.

July is shaping up to be a bumper month for Northern mountain bike events, with Northern Grip also running from the 22nd – 24th.
David started mountain biking in the 90’s, by which he means “Ineptly jumping a Saracen Kili Racer off anything available in a nearby industrial estate”. After growing up and living in some extremely flat places, David moved to Yorkshire specifically for the mountain biking. This felt like a horrible mistake at first, because the hills are so steep, but you get used to them pretty quickly.
Previously, David trifled with road and BMX, but mountain bikes always won. He’s most at peace battering down a rough trail, quietly fixing everything that does to a bike, or trying to figure out if that one click of compression damping has made things marginally better or worse. The inept jumping continues to this day.
