Platt Fields BMX Go-Ride Racing Summer Series!

This summer will see a series of five Go-Ride Races held at Platt Fields BMX track!

With newcomers to the sport the focus, each event will be held at either the end of a Platt Fields holiday camp, or at the end of a 3 week coaching plan with Manchester BMX Youth Club. We expect this to help make the transition into racing as smooth as possible.

It is also hoped that these events will act as a stepping stone for riders to progress into Club, Regional, and National competition.

All under 16's welcome who are new to the sport!
