The fifth annual Dean Barwick Mountain Bike Challenge will be held on Saturday 4 July 2015.

Those up for the challenge can choose between timed mountain trail biking routes of 25km or 40km. The specially designed courses use bridleways, off-road tracks and exclusive trails on private land, which will be available for this day only, making it a unique way to experience biking through the area.

The event is one in a series being held to raise money for a range of important improvements to the school.

Under-16 riders are welcome with an accompanying adult. 
Visit www.deanbarwick.cumbria.sch.uk for further details and to enter.

The opening of the new Bay Cycleway takes place between 11 and 14 June - (see here for details) and the riders will be stopping briefly in Witherslack outside the shop/pub on Saturday 13 June at around 10.30am.  
It would be great to see a few people there to welcome the riders - bring the kids and perhaps ride along the old road with the 30/35 cyclists.
