Beast 2017 – Important Statement
To all our Beast riders and supporters, we have to inform you that we will be having a year off organising the Brecon Beast event this year (2017). This will no doubt will disappoint many of you, but I hope you can understand our circumstances why this is necessary. We are a very small organising group and during 2017 a few key members have to take a step back to attend to personal, business and family commitments; to proceed without these key people would not guarantee that the events organisation would be to the standard required.
The event has raised £100,000 for local charities and good causes, so thank you all for supporting it and making this possible; you certainly have made a difference to all the charities that we have helped.
After a year off our batteries will be re charged and I’m confident we will be raring to stage the event again in 2018.
Thanks all and very best wishes for all you mountain biking events for 2017 team Beast.
