“The Mildenhall Cycling Mini-Fest will take place on Sunday 30th August at its traditional venue of West Row Village Hall, near Mildenhall and offers the Fenland Flyer Gravel Time-Trial, Grass-Track racing and the Cycle Jumble,” confirmed Chairman of the organisers, Mildenhall Cycling Club, Mark Burchett.
There will be a full range of events for Seniors, Veterans, Ladies and Juveniles on the grass which will also include a round of the National Endurance and Sprint Leagues in the afternoon, with the track staging the start & finish of the Fenland Flyer Gravel Time-Trial in the morning.
In addition to the main Senior Gravel event, the separate Juveniles race for 13–16-year-olds will, start the day’s running order and over the same course.
The riders will be racing individually against the clock over a 20km course that is almost entirely off-road consisting of farm tracks, droves, by-ways with just a small section of minor road. This is a unique type of course that only the Fens can offer.
Taking place from 10am will be the Cycle Jumble from a car boot around the grass-track, letting visitors and competitors to buy and sell from their vehicles, with sellers having to pre-book their pitch.
Camping is no longer offered by the organisers on site, but West Row has three campsites, and the organisers are very much encouraging new as well as regular visitors to previous events to still come and spend the weekend in Suffolk cycling and at the Mini-Fest.
Mildenhall Cycling Club will be providing light refreshments and drinks all day in the village hall and at lunchtime Jacket Potatoes with a variety of fillings.
The Mini-Fest and its predecessor the Cycling Rally, have always attracted many up-and-coming names from the world of cycling including the Mildenhall Club’s very own Golden Member Victoria Pendleton CBE who was a multi-Olympic and World Champion before retiring and more recently Laura Kenny CBE, who is GB’s most successful female Olympian winning five gold medals in a glittering career.
