This weekend is the final round of the successful Chain Reaction Cycles British Downhill Series at Innerleithen near Peebles in the Scottish Borders on Saturday the 13th and Sunday the 14th of October 2007.
The Innerleithen course is great for both spectators and riders offering a unique mixture of high speed sections with large jumps and drops broken up by super steep, tight and technical wooded sections. Throw in plenty of roots, rocks, screaming spectators and some of the Worlds top riders and you are at the best National Series in the World!
Fancy a spot of XC riding? Innerleithen has a killer XC/Enduro loop for you to ride. Stop and rest at several view points and watch the racing unfold before your very eyes. Then head back to the race village and checkout the retail stores and talk suspension tech with the likes of TF Tuned and Mojo.
The Sombrio Film Festival on Saturday evening is free and open to all and will be showing the U.K Premier of "Make it Happen". Bring your own chair and a beer and sit down and enjoy!
Refreshments will be on hand with our caterer continuing their Themed Nights, this week it’s "Chinese" so bring your chop sticks.
Fenwick’s the bike cleaner people will be running a bike wash with free use of their jet washes and cleaner and we will have our fully trained Park Tool Mechanic looking after your ride, all free of charge!
Hang around for the Podium and shout and scream to receive some signed goodies from the top riders. Then see the top 5 in each category receive customised trophies from Hope Technology.
