What to do next…Off Road Duathlon Series

Our Midlands Off Road Series offers something for everyone - there are National titles on offer in Sherwood Pines on 8 November but really these events are about fun!

They are designed to be accessible to all. The cycling takes place on established trails and although they may be narrow in places, the are not overly technical or hilly (or muddy, it’s been a dry summer). You can get round on a mountain, hybrid or cross bike and we’d really love to encourage everyone to come along and try it.

All three of the events are based inside beautiful country parks, so not only great for you and your spectators but there are lovely warm cafes at each venue just if it does get cold.

• Saturday 18 October - Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire
• Saturday 8 November - Sherwood Pines, Nottinghamshire
• Saturday 29 November - Holme Pierrepont Country Park, Nottingham

The first event is at beautiful Clumber Park in north Nottinghamshire. It’s an ideal family day out and you’ll be done and dusted in time for lunch and to enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Here’s some of the benefits of taking part in these off road events over the autumn:
• Improved bike handling skills
• Trying something new
• Less kit required than a triathlon, and no running around in soaking wet lycra (crossing fingers for kind weather on race day now!)
• Your mountain bike would really appreciate some love after playing second fiddle to the road bike over the summer (and a service too it said, thank you, please)
• Enjoying competing in a friendly environment
• Maintaining race fitness and focus during the ‘off season’
• Family friendly day out
