Bristol plays host to a well-attended winter cyclocross race series, the Western League. The same team of promotors have organised a summer race series too, which kicked off last week at St George's Park. Although it's a cyclocross series, MTBs are welcome too - just don't expect to win!

Seniors races all start at 7.15 pm and the entry fee is a very reasonable £10 (£13 if you're not a BC member). There are also juniors and U12 races earlier in the evening.

Dates for the races are:

Tuesday 8 June Hengrove Park

Tuesday 15 June St George's Park

Tuesday 22 June Hengrove Park

Tuesday 29 June Castle Combe Circuit

Tuesday 6 July Oldbury Court (TBC)

Tuesday 13 July St George's Park
