Entries are now open for the 2020 Ashcombe Mini Downhill!
Back for 2020! After the success of the 2019 Ashcombe Mini Downhill, we are back for more racing action in the South West on April 26th.
Same format as last year, all about having fun and racing bikes on a short but sweet course. Designed with more of an old-school natural vibe, expect lots of off-cambers, ruts and plenty of roots. Oh, and don't forget the loam. The course will be similar to last year but with a slightly extended bottom section, to push the fastest time over the minute mark.
Race Day Schedule:
- Sign-on open: 8am-9.30am.
- Course open for foot inspection: 8am-9am.
- Open practice: 9am-11.45am (you must complete 2 full practice runs).
- 2 race runs: 12.30pm-4pm (roughly).
- Podiums and prize giving: 20 minutes after final rider finishes.
