Afan 4X course needs you this weekend
Wales' all new Pro 4X track is in it's final phase and it needs you to help finish it.
The World Cup quality 4X track under construction at Afan Forest Park is now nearly finished after the snow setbacks but it needs you muscle and manpower to get it ready for summer.
The 500m track has been built by UCI World Cup course builder Phil Saxena – the man behind some of the best mountain bike courses in the world. The half K of craziness includes 11 corners, one corkscrew, a massive rock garden and a pro section with a pair of huge jumps (8-10m gaps), and should take about a minute to get down. It's been built right next to the Bryn Bettws
Lodge Mountain Bike Centre and the Wall trail too, so it's perfect for a day of sessioning or a mid-ride play for trail riders.
Dig day oragniser Paul Massey told us: “Bring along your own rake or borrow your dad's and help put the finishing touches to this world-class track. You dig in the mornings of each day and ride all afternoon. There'll be a free uplift for your bike, and camping is free for the weekend.
Plus if you regsiter with us and come to this dig weekend on one day or over the full weekend and then attend another 4 dig days before April 2011 you'll get a 10% discount on all day riding tickets and any parts ordered through the on site Afan Valley bike shop.
