Ok, Im just working out what events to goto next year and wondered what people think…..
Ill start with MAYHEM

BigBikeBash

The pub.

Is that Brighton? or is that the big dog?

1st hit the north
most ssuk’s
my friends and my yearly trip to scotia……….. 8)

Three Peaks!
seconding HtN and SSUK.

For me the ssec this year was fantastic. And looking forward to Belgium next year

TweedLove will be epic next year, all the free stuff plus big new events on new trails.

BBB, FOd Enduro and HONC.

raasay rumble was awesome 😀 – but youll struggle to go to that as its not been for 2 years

puffer – its THE event

mayhem is good – love the atmosphere – but it was fine doing it once …. may do it again in the future but not an every year job

The malvern hills classic
Bring it back, always the summer highlight. Downhill, xc, slalom, eliminator, lake jumping it had it all, plus a real party atmosphere and festival of uk mtb.

3 Peaks cyclocross

Strathpuffer

CLIC24

Anything organised by riders who do it for the love of it

oh, and the NEMBA series races, from back in the day, as they were my first experiences of racing

the old stw glentress rides

Exmoor Explorer

Twenty four 12

Any Merida 100k

WRT

‘Puffer

Kielder 100

The 10hr enduros put on by No Fuss Events (http://www.nofussevents.co.uk/) are always really good – my favourite is 10 Around Kirroughtree. Top notch organisation, great atmosphere, laid back but competitive and some of the best MTB courses around.

Three Peaks Cyclo-Cross for the hardest one day race in the UK.

Mountain Mayhem for the atmosphere.

Dusk til Dawn just cos it’s totally different.

Brownbacks racing, really good scenery, freindly locals, good marshalling and lots of prizes provided by a the numerous sponsors.

Oh and its a closed circuit so good for spectators and plenty of medical cover.

The original Polaris events. Awesome even if you were crap.

Mayhem for all the above reasons think I’ll try enter a team of 10 to make it a more chilled afair.

Also enjoyed Afan Monster for the challenge of a hard course 😉

Birdfair!

Oh yeah, and the British Pizza Championships

esselgruntfuttock

i was gonna say polaris…..but i thought people would laugh at me….. 😉

invite only mate’s races.

these new ‘special stage’ enduros (think kielder; average trail, brilliant race)

MegAvalanche

Brompton world champ’s

Three Peaks cyclocross gets my vote as well (even though I am crap at it)

i forgot about no fuss — they feel like mates races 😉

+1 for Kielder 100

Another vote for No Fuss Events. Looking forward to Relentless next weekend.

HtN (all of em).

Rassay Rumble- yep one of those i was there events for sure- Epic weather.

Dawn Raid Golspie- funny how the best ones have only run once.

Isle of Man end to end- Great event if you have not been try and get there sometime in your biking life.

Pop over the pond and do the Epic Blast.
