This year the Big Bike Bash mountain bike festival will be bigger than ever. Magnus Backstedt, a stage winner on the Tour de France and winner of the infamous Paris-Roubaix race, will unveil new cycling facilities at the event, which is hosted at the charity UK Youth’s Avon Tyrrell Activity Centre in the New Forest.
Four hundred riders and their families attended this celebration of mountain-biking last year and helped raise £4000 for UK Youth, the country’s leading youth work charity. The money has helped develop a range of exciting opportunities for cyclists like a new pump, gravity north-shore track. ‘Big Maggy’, a vice-president of the charity and leader of the elite Team UK Youth cycling team, will open this on Sunday the 21st August.
