Get your diaries out, Chain Reaction Cycles have just released the dates and locations of their 2012 series of races, powered by Mercedes-Benz Vito Sport.
All the events will be double again in 2012 with either a night marathon or a road sportive on the Saturday followed by the mountain bike (MTB) marathon on Sunday. There’s a discount if you book a weekend ticket to enter both races. The road sportives will have two distances to choose from and the MTB Marathon four.
The only exception to this double rule is the Abergavenny (location and date TBC) round in August which will have the MTB Marathon on Saturday followed by the road sportive on Sunday.
The Saturday evening will see a live band, bar on site and a BBQ for riders and spectators, so stay over and enjoy the weekend with some like minded cyclists.
