Despite the idea behind this event being Roman in origin, we feel this event has a distinctly British feel. Held in conjunction with the Llanwrtyd Wells Real Ale Festival in Wales (awesome), the World MTB Chariot Racing Championship involves pedalling a chariot made of steel and rubber around a mountain bike course, in the middle of January.

The winning team will have to ‘demonstrate exceptional skill and courage’ in order to win the prize, according to the event’s website.

The 2015 event takes place on 10th of January, so it’s time to get organising. Where do we sign up? Via this link of course!
