Hux at Bux - FlowDuro - WAS ON Saturday 10th April 2021

Ok so it took us till the 4th go to get that event to run but gee IT WAS ALL WORTH IT.
We really had a great time hosting that one with you all and thankyou for coming.    Seems you enjoyed it too, have received a few great emails.
“Just wanted to say a huge thank you for organising such a great event, it was my first race and has inspired me to do many more into the future. I will definitely be back next year!”  Lucas

“He turned up to watch me ride and had a ball, so did I. Awesome day can’t wait for the next one.”  Stephen

“Awesome event was the hux on bux. Perfect mix of trails used”  Philip

——————————————————————————————–
So you think you are the best descender in the field, well prove it. Each stage is between 1 and 2km in length of mostly descending on the brilliant flowing single tracks of Buxton. We wont be using the Cathedral trail so NO full face helmets are needed.   Its about flow and skill.

Suitable for anything from a hardtail to a 150mm travel bike.  Choose your weapon!

Each stage finishes at the race village giving you a chance to eat, drink and chat with your mates about your run before heading back off into the trails to reach the start of the next stage.
