Summer Event Schedule 2023

First, we’re stoked to announce that we’re sponsoring two race series this summer, the Mini Enduro Wednesday Series at Bike Park Wales and the Welsh Enduro Series. 

We’ve been involved with the Mini Enduros & Mini Downhills for a number of years, but we love the concept of the Wednesday Mash Up series - an inclusive race series that focuses on taking a few hours away from the office to ride your bike. It’s a mash up format, so no pressure on just 1 race run and no timed transitions, just go out, ride your bike and have fun. There are 3 rounds over summer, and Atlas Ride Co will be at each one. 

We’re sponsoring podium prizes at each event - Senior Womens (rd1), Mens Masters (rd2), & Mens Seniors (rd3) - with £100/£75/£50 vouchers up for grabs. We’re also donating a Morzine Holiday which will be drawn at the end of the series to a random entry, giving everyone a chance to win!

Race Dates

Rd 1 - Bike Park Wales - 22nd March 2023
Rd 2 - Bike Park Wales - 21st June 2023
Rd 3 - Bike Park Wales - 13th September 2023

There’s also a special race in the summer school holidays just for under 13s on 23rd August 2023.

There are also full Mini Enduro events throughout the year on the following dates;

11th June 2023 Machynlleth
10th September 2023 Forest of Dean
08th October 2023 Caersws Bike Park
18th November 2023 Llandegla

We will also be sponsoring the 2023 Welsh Enduro Series this year. We attended Llanfyllin last year, and were so impressed with the event set up and brands on display (our partners Smith Optics and Peaty’s also support the series), we knew we wanted to be involved for this year. With 5 rounds across mid and north Wales, at iconic riding spots such as Dyfi Forest and Llandegla Forest, we can’t wait to be at each round.

We’ll be offering £150, £100 and £50 vouchers for the Masters podium places at each round, as well 1 Finale Ligure Riders Week holiday for an overall category winner. Now that’s worth hanging it out for to claim that top spot!

Race Dates

Rd 1 - Foel Gasnach - 16th April 2023
Rd 2 - Llanfyllin - 14th May 2023
Rd 3 - Dyfi Forest - 3rd/4th June 2023

Outside of local race series, Atlas Ride Co will also be at TweedLove festival and ArdRock in 2023! 
 

We love the Tweed Valley. It’s one of our favourite places to ride bikes in the UK, and one of our most popular trips too! With thousands of riders and spectators arriving in the town of Peebles, the weekend is always a blast, with amazing trails right on the doorstep, live music and loads of brands displaying brand-new gear and bikes. If you haven’t been, it’s well worth a visit. 

Taking place over the weekend of 29/30 April make sure to come say hi if you’re in town for the event!

You can buy your tickets HERE.

One of our favourite things about TweedLove is getting out for a ride afterwards. Read about our time at the Golfie after TweedLove HERE. 

ArdRock is an iconic Mountain Bike Festival in the UK. With over 100 brands in attendance, thousands of spectators and competitors over the weekend and 5 different events to enter, ArdRock has something for everyone, from professionals to those just wanting to complete the famously tough stages. 

Find out more information about ArdRock HERE.

The BIG ONE. World Champs baby! We probably don’t need to introduce this event too much -  Rainbow jerseys and huge crowds - but what makes this year’s event so special is that for the first time, there will be 13 disciplines in action over an 11 day period across Scotland, with over 8000 competitors, amateurs and professionals, competing for rainbow jerseys across BMX, Downhill, Cross-Country, Road, Track and Trials, as well as Para-cycling categories. 

Find out more information about Downhill World Championships at Fort William HERE.
