It’s the weekend

by 2

It looks like being a great weekend for nearly everyone, so why not start it now and slide into a memorable weekend of fun and bikes?

Strength

    Starting first with Red Bull TV, it’s showing the new Anthill film, Strength in Numbers on repeat for today. Dip in and out when the boss isn’t watching.

    However, if you want to see it in a cinema, with proper optics and loud sound, the way it’s supposed to be, then check out the cinema screenings right now here:

    In other things to do this weekend:

    Spin

Then there’s the ‘Spinup in a Brewery’

“The bringing together of static, or ‘roller racing’ in a brewery is a first according to James Cuthbertson of Dark Star Brewery who have teamed-up with fellow Partridge Green residents, Kinesis Bikes and Brighton based Morvélo to launch the event. Commenting, he said: “When the guys at Kinesis suggested it, we though ‘why not?’ Many of our fans are cyclists, so I’m sure it will be popular. That and the fact that we’re located so close to the South Downs Link, one of the South’s best cycling routes should make for a great event”.

Dom Mason of Kinesis UK added: “Dark Star are long term sponsors of The ‘Kinesis Morvélo Project’ [KMP] and this joint cycle team between Kinesis Bikes UK and Morvélo Bicycle Apparel embodies the thrill of racing without taking life too seriously. So we decided that we should combine forces again to bring together all those that love to ride, race, drink and eat. All under one roof”.

As well as trying roller racing, those attending can enjoy a wide range of beers, shop at the cycling stalls and enjoy a BBQ. They’ll also be spot prizes throughout the day as well as a fantastic prize bundle, with combined swag from Dark Star, Kinesis UK and Morvélo for the winning rider.

The event will he held on this Saturday May 26th from 15:00 – 20:00 at the Dark Star Brewery in Partridge Green. Tickets are on sale from between £5 and £8 (inc transfers from Brighton) must be purchased in advance and include a free pint and a
discount off a wide range of cycling goods available on the day. Places are limited, so early booking is advised.
