UDHC (Urban Downhill Charity Event) in partnership with Woodland Riders comes to Plymouth UK for 2010. Established by Jon Catney a Marine Sports undergraduate at the University of Plymouth as a way of getting involved with the locals & promoting other means of cycling. This is its first year as a fully organized race with plans of a possible round two later this year. It has expanded from what started out being a small 'low key' event to a massive race connecting big name importers & local shops. The race is being held in order to raise money for the Stay Strong Fund. wwww.staystrong.co.uk Planned for the first weekend after the University Easter break (24th April 2010). The event is a great way of getting those hardened downhillers mixing with the street riders and the new kids on the block. Categories used on the day will be open to all 18+. You do not have to be affiliated with a club or team; you don't have to be a British Cycling member...if you want to have fun and an awesome day out, pop down. There will be trade stands, demo bikes and much more on the day so this is not just for competitors! There will be mechanics on the day offering set up and tuning advice as well as a multitude of riders from every discipline. Prizes will be awarded to the top three riders in each category. There will also be bonus prizes (more will be revealed on the day). Various giveaways and activities will be held throughout the day. There will even be an after party held in UoP students union after the event! To see an amazing event c'mon down to University of Plymouth on the 24th April!
