2016 British Cycling Downhill National Championships presented by Leighton Vans

5 February 2016  |  

So here we are - It's that time of year when we look towards the most prestigious event on the domestic UK calendar. As most of you should now be aware we are heading to Revolution Bike Park and the date will be the 16th & 17th July 2016.

For 2016 we would like to welcome our new partner. 'The British Cycling National Downhill Championships presented by Leighton Vans'. Leighton Vans are a Sheffield based VW Transporter specialist who take stock of VW Transporter Panel and Kombi T5's & T6's and create unique, high specification vans for those who want the best.

Since our first National Champs at Ae Forest in 2010 the team at Borderline Events has strived to put on the best events at the best venues. Llangollen in 2015 was a highlight for us and considered a great event by everyone involved. We're excited to visit a new venue on the racing calendar and the Fosters' of Revolution Bike Park are equally as excited as ourselves.

Tim Foster, Manager of evolution Bike Park is very pleased indeed "This is a big step for Revolution Bike Park and we're really excited about racing coming to Revs. We're really happy to have the Borderline Series coming here in April and the National Champs in July. This is a great opportunity to showcase the tracks we have been building since 2011. We have been asked many times when racing will start at Revs and 2016 is that time"

The uplift will be provided by a combination of both the Revolution BP and Pearce Landrovers and timing once again will be with SportstimingSystems and have the usual speed and split.
