Cool MTB Challenge this Sunday 6th October at The Pavilion, Charlton Sport and Leisure Centre, Andover

by Jane Lucas, 30 Sep 24.

Online pre-entry is available or entry on the day will be at Event Registration from 8am at a £3 surcharge.

Organised by our experienced, friendly team, this is a very popular, longstanding timed, choice of distance, fully supported, marked route offroad mountain bike event through Hampshire and Wiltshire. There's a choice of routes Medium or Long, but they all always include 'The Woods' the particularly memorable section of swooping twisty single track through glorious beech woods.

This sociable event offers something for all riders, including e-bike riders who are very welcome to take part. Some riders like to push themselves, others like to ride with their family (U16s ride for FREE with an adult, no need to enter them separately) whilst others just enjoy riding through the stunning scenery with their friends. The event is so flexible that you can even decide which route to do whilst you're out riding.

You'll receive a FREE TORQ bar or gel when you sign in, and there's FREE energy food and drink at the friendly water stop on the routes. All riders receive a finisher's medal and there'll be toilets and a coffee and snacks van at the Start/Finish.
