Antur Stiniog DH Ffest 2015
This coming weekend (25-26 July) sees the third Annual Antur Stiniog Dh Ffest take place in Wales. Some places are still available.
The event will be run on the ever popular Black Powder track with the original finish. It’s a fast rock-fest of a track littered with jumps and rock gardens, and will test even the most experienced of riders.
What with a great track and the best uplifts in the UK, as well as live music on-site on Saturday afternoon, a bar, great food, free camping, prizes for all podiums, a slate trophy for the winners, and music in the town’s pubs in the evening, the Ffest promises to be a great event as always.
Entries are still available, so head over to the British Cycling website to register your place.
