The Cycle Show – Racing, Bling and free tickets

The big international shows may have come and gone, but one of the UK’s biggest is happening next week in Birmingham and the grit.cx team will be at The Cycle Show at the NEC to both have a look round and chat to anyone who wants to pop by our booth.

If checking out the latest new products, and chatting to the people behind the brands wasn’t enough, there’s also top level cross racing to be seen on the Sunday.
Organised by the Derby Cyclocross team there’s a number of races culminating in the men’s and women’s Elite categories. Both races will have a £1000 prize pot – serious cash for the UK cross scene! The Races themselves will take place on the land surrounding the exhibition centre but each lap the riders will pass through the show halls themselves, giving you a chance to ogle new stuff and heckle / cheer simultaneously.
Some of the Top UK Racers will be in attendance, including current National champ Ian Field, and arch rival and current holder of the National Trophy Paul Oldham and Raleigh are bringing along Jake Poole and Matthieu Boulo. As for the ladies, the organisers were confirming the field as we went to press.

 
To celebrate all this grit.cx is offering you – dear reader – the chance to win one of three pairs of tickets to the show.
All you need to do is share this news story on your twitter or Facebook feed to have a chance of winning.
