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.

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.

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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

As events go I really enjoyed the Edinburgh Nocture Crit race. Great fun to watch, central city setting, the Folding Bike Race. Stood on Victoria St with a pint of Kruijkssvcceicejk in my hand.

Predictably this turns into a list of pretty much every event in the UK, though I'm amazed no-one else has mentioned the Singletrack Weekender. Close to top of my list the past two years. Would also add my vote to 10@Kirroughtree, and of course SSUK is always fun.
