After an impressive show of support from Midlands racers and many other riders keen to compete over some cracking course, James and Nadine have once more dedicated time, energy and money in to running a series of races, culminating in a Midlands area Championships.

Utilising classic and new venues the pair with plenty of support aim to raise the profile of XC racing in the midlands and provide a much welcome return of a series in a central location which is within easy reach for a lot of riders.

Mammoth Lifestyle and Fitness will be at each round for the last minute buying of gels, C02, spares and anything else you forgot to bring with you! http://www.mammothlifestyle.co.uk.

I’ll be there too at all rounds as the series’ official photographer as well as writing reports for British Cycling to promote the series even further countrywide.

Hot and cold food and drink will be available on site from Quaver Catering. Please note there will be no running water at Cannock, so please make sure you bring plenty with you.

Timelaps will be providing all timekeeping, allowing you to compare lap times with your mates http://www.timelaps.co.uk

Extreme Medics will be on hand in case you overcook it on a corner out on the course.
