Venue: Holnicote Estate, Exmoor

Quick Summary: 2 Days of gravity fuelled Mountain Biking action in the heart of Exmoor. World Champ Fabien Barel will be in riding.

Get ready to finish a summer of mountain biking in style. The Mondraker Gravity Mountain Bike Rally combines everything that is great in mountain biking and takes it to one of the best riding spots in the British Isles, Exmoor. Stunning views meet fast flowing trails to offer something for every type of mountain bike rider, timed downhill sections will help us find a fastest rider but everyone will feel like a winner after a great weekend of riding.

The event kicks off from lunchtime on Saturday 15th September with stage one. As we move towards the evening there will be riding and non-riding based entertainment, plenty of space for camping, music, a bar and a great chance to unwind and relax in the beautiful surroundings of the National Trust’s Holnicote Estate.

Sunday is all about the riding, the 30km gravity loop is stunning, timed sections, long winding downhills with plenty of speed complimented by climbs that reward you with a great view (and some refreshments en-route).
