Goat Style Bike Festival 2009 is just around the corner

If you listen carefully at night, you can hear the goats stirring. You can hear them running around, trying so desperately to escape from their pen. They know what’s coming; they know what’s going to happen…and they want out.

Goat Style Bike Festival is 4 months away and the anticipation is rocketing through the roof. Plans have been underway from the moment that Goat Style ’08 finished. Last year ended with rain…it was tough but it only made us stronger, and it really ticked the goats off. They want redemption; they want another crack at what’s going to be the biggest Goat Style ever. There will be no more cancellations, there will be no more muddy, soaking wet course…and there will be no more “maybe next year” because this year…it’s on!

Aston Hill Racing in March

Last editted Feb 19, 2009 at 16:23
What better a start to the year than some good ole fashioned Black Run downhill racing at Aston Hill. The Black run remains one of the most challenging downhill tracks in the South East, with its combination of tight switchbacks, roots, drops and some newly added "flow". Race support will be provided by Xtreme Medics and Mikrotime. All riders can gain BC points (category C race). "The response has been very positive and riders are taking advantage of the reduced pre-entry application which can be downloaded which we believe reflects how popular Aston Hill is as a race venue".
