“We love riding our bikes and want to get as many other people to share our passion as possible. We are organising a South West race series because people have been asking for one. The mountain biking scene in the South West is thriving at the moment and we want to help it to grow, and invest in the future of cycling. The South West race series is being developed as a non profit making enterprise. Any money that is made will be invested back into the sport locally.”
