A Brand New Area and League for 2014
Posted: 06/01/14
Black Mountains MBO are hosting 6 x 3 ½ hour score events in the mountains and foothills on the English Welsh border near Abergavenny. Rising to over 800m above sea level it is a great place to ride, the majority of check points will be placed off road, with a good mix of terrain to suit all abilities ranging from quiet country trails to technical mountain tracks. The events will utilise the highlights of the area and once you've ridden them you will want to come back and ride them time and time again.
Event 1 of the series will be based in Pandy near Abergavenny on 23 March; it will feature some great riding in the very centre of the Black Mountain range on high ridges and in the Mynydd Du forest. Event 2 on the 27 April will venture to the very north of the area and be part of The Hay Bike Festival. The Festival runs for 3 days and features’ both off and on road cycle attractions, including guided rides, a Sportive and for this event we hope to use Sportident electronic scoring to attract riders competing in the National League to this wonderful area.
