Aston Hill Downhill Series 2017 - Ricochet

Firecrest Mountain Biking is working in Partnership with the Forestry Commission and Aston Hill Bike Park to run two Downhill Races on Aston Hill in 2017. The first takes place on the popular Ricochet Downhill (DH3) on Sunday 12th March 2017.

Last raced back in 2006 Ricochet is one of the faster, flowing Downhill Trails on Aston Hill and the perfect way to open the race season if you haven’t been to any of the winter races and a great Trail for first time racers to give Downhill racing a go.

Firecrest Mountain Biking will be getting Ricochet race ready over the next few weeks with a few tweaks and a bit of race tuning to ensure it’s ready to race. The race run also be using the new bottom section of the Trail to the finish that the Aston Hill Bike Park Committee Volunteers have built. So it’s guaranteed to be a roller coaster run from top to bottom.

All riders will complete at least 1 Practice Run and get 2 Race Runs with the fastest time counting for their final category position.
