Summer’s nearly here, so why not monkey about on your bike at next month’s Summer Monkey XC enduro? Headline sponsored by Merida Merida with support from Four4th Lights. It takes place on Sunday 19 June at Caesar’s Camp, Bourley Road, Aldershot, Hants GU11 1PZ. Caesar’s Camp is a massively popular venue, with plenty of car parking space and some great spectating points. You can expect a cracking course, full facilities and a large prize pool of winner and spot prizes. As it’s Summer, there are additional categories for 6 hour Solo and Pairs riders’ plus ones for Fat Bike and Single Speed riders.
Full details and online pre-entry here and as the weather is warmer, there’ll be entry on the day too.
