Our Race League is back to Melton THIS SATURDAY! Don't forget that online entries closed at midday today! 🚴

Join us at Asfordby Football Club for an entry-level race league running from September to June, a great opportunity aimed at those racing for the first time or not regularly racing at a high level. All off-road bikes with "knobbly" tyres are permitted.

If riders would prefer to race for fun and experience and forget that their race is part of a league that's absolutely fine!

Categories are based off the rider's age from September 1st 2026 and must remain in that category throughout the series. If riders would prefer to race in an older category they're more than welcome to but again must remain within that category throughout the series.

There will be no medals on the day, instead trophies will be awarded at the end of the series.
This will be determined by a best of 6 rounds from a possible 10.
Rider's must take part in a minimum of 6 races to be in for a chance of winning a trophy.

Each race will have a mandatory practice lap just before the race starts.

No electric bikes including balance bikes.

Strictly riders only on the course at all times.

Last week Martin was awarded with a Charnwood Community Heros Award for Inspiring Others which we're extremely proud of 💜

Martin is the reason that B-BUDDIES exists but not only does he work magic for our organisation, others too! He volunteers for the majority of his hours, long hours! Over the years he's taught many people and fixed many bikes as well as trained up our team and others, set up multiple great opportunities and made lots of people laugh! We're extremely lucky and thankful for all of his work therefore couldn't agree more with his award 🏆
