Introducing B-BUDDIES Summer Skills Challenge NEW for 2025,
a point-based 3 round series concentrating on skill rather than speed!
Throughout each round riders will be challenged around section 2 and 3 of the pedal and play areas at Hicks Lodge. There will be additional obstacles on each area for further skills tests. Each rider will start with 0 points and each time they put their foot down, their pedal hits the floor or equipment or they don't complete the equipment as challenged to they will gain points. The winner is the rider with the least points. Riders don't have to compete in all 3 rounds however to be in with a chance of winning a medal they have to compete in a minimum of 2 rounds. The best 2 rounds will be taken towards the end result.
The minimum age for this challenge is 4 years old. We're offering an under 9's category as well as an under 16's category, both split with open and girls. The age is determined by the rider's age on the date of the first round. They must then stay in that category throughout.
Sign on is at section 2 of the pedal and play which is next to the picnic area and start of the blue route from 16:30 until 16:45. Although we can accept on the day entries we're unable to reserve spaces and there is a higher rate for this of £10 rather than the online price of £8 therefore we recommend entering online in advance. Online entries close the day before at midday.
Each area will be closed for the half an hour of the challenge only. Only riders taking part can be on the area within these times. No practice laps available. No electric bikes, balance bikes or stabilisers.
Suggested warm up area section 1 of pedal and play.
Schedule for the day:
Sign on 16:30-16:45 (at section 2)
Section 2 challenge 16:45-17:15
Section 3 challenge 17:30-18:00
Although we do accept entries on the day, the rate is slightly higher for these and we're unable to reserve a space therefore we recommend entering online as far in advance as you can...
