If you fancy a mountain bike event in some glorious countryside, with a relaxed and fun atmosphere, then check out Daisy Chain. They’re the perfect event to try if you’ve always wanted to give a mountain bike race a go, and there are also harder routes if you fancy pushing yourself.

The weekend event in May at Fforest Fields will start things off with a day of MTB skills, yoga and basic mechanics courses, plus fun family rides and an evening barbecue. Partners are welcome to join in! For the event on Sunday, a choice of three distances means you can pick the route to suit your ability and fitness level. Along the way, you’ll also find options that allow you to take a harder technical trails or easier routes as you fancy.

In May, head to Shropshire to join an MTB Marathon or Mini-Marathon with the same family friendly atmosphere (we like the sound of the bouncy castles!) with medals and spot prizes for the participants.

You’ll also be able to test ride some top notch mountain bikes, as there will be a test fleet available courtesy of SCOTT Bicycles.

Date: 10th/11th May in Fforest Fields, Wales, and 28th June at Church Stretton, Shropshire

Distance:  16km, 23km or 35km at Fforest Fields, 2okm or 40km at Church Stretton.
