Fully Sussed Launch South West XC Series
After an absence of several years, Fully Sussed are delighted to announce the return of Summer cross country mountain bike racing to the South West. The series will consist of four Sunday races with British Cycling ranking points and a grass roots evening series run under the British Cycling Go MTB scheme.
Fully Sussed are indebted to the Forestry Commission for their provision of exciting and challenging race venues, as well as Devon-Clinton Estates and Newnham Park. Each round will benefit from sponsorship by a local shop, while the series is being sponsored by Accelerade, Shred magazine and Osprey.
The aim of the venues is to provide a quality race experience for all levels from kids and novices through to elite/ expert. The individual venues are ideally suited to provide accessible but challenging cross country mountain biking.

Our Ethos
We love riding our bikes and want to get as many other people to share our passion as possible. We are organising a South West race series because people have been asking for one. The mountain biking scene in the South West is thriving at the moment and we want to help it to grow, and invest in the future of cycling. The South West race series is being developed as a non profit making enterprise. Any money that is made will be invested back into the sport locally.
