I'm thinking of coming over to the UK to see my sis (back from Bangkok) during July & early August.
I thought it might be fun to do a race or 2 whilst there & wondered if anyone had any suggestions.
Preference would be Midlands based but could travel a bit further for the right race.

Are there any event calendars online?

Here

Dalby NPS and Army Are You Tough Enough are the same weekend, one north, one south, both gonna be good events. There's a Midlands XC on the 1st August too. Bit of a dearth otherwise frankly! Maybe worth checking out the Dragon XC events in Wales.

Could try VCNotts Summer Series MTB race nights – well two out of the three anyway. Run more on cyclocross type rules and courses but good fun and a good standard of riders enter.

thanks for the feedback.
The FNSS looks like an option or maybe the Midlands XC rd3…

I'll keep an eye on the website in the meantime.

FNSS is great fun! 😀
