It’s fast approaching the 2nd annual trackdropouts tunnel sprints event. It’s long overdue but this was just to give some of you time to lick the wounds of last time and get them sprint legs up to the size of Robert Förstemann (if you don’t know who I mean google it).

If you missed the event first time around then this a simple but a fun event were Riders from Bath, Bristol and some even from London raced two at a time in a classic hot rod drag race style through the tunnel (under Stapleton road) on the Bristol to Bath cycle-path.

The great thing about the tunnel is whatever the weather it’s always dry ish inside and it has lights! So with that in mind and the better weather at this time of year Chris Punk and George Sportif are aiming to make more of a night of it with a BBQ, music and prizes (And hopefully another budget trophy.)

This year the crew have been working hard and sorted some prizes from the local fixed gear shops that support the grass root events like this. So try you luck at being a winner we have some great kit from:

Cadence Bike Shop
Freshtripe
Fenchurch
Velosolo
14 BikeCo

Check out the websites they have some great stock and tell them we sent you when you buy some kit, after all these guys have given us their time and kit for free, so lets make sure we give it back. So we can keep running these events.

As with any of the Trackdropouts events you will find a great social event for everyone. So pick up you bike, lights and some beer and come down, just make sure you take you rubbish home. Even if you just want to see what is going on and not race.

Date for the event is Saturday 17th of July. Starting around 10 or 11pm.
