This year’s Bournemouth Wheels Festival hosts the third and fourth rounds of the 2016 BXUK British Beachcross Championship for quads and solos from June the 3rd through to the 5th. The series kicked off at Margate in March, attracting riders from the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands and Ireland.

Each class has a mass start from the start line near the pier. Each race will be fifteen to twenty minutes.

The format on Friday will see team and best pairs races, which will produce some exciting team riding, providing a new challenge for the competitors as they ride for team points rather than just themselves which is what they are used to.

Saturday and Sunday will be full-blown Championship racing.

Some of Europe’s top sand-racing specialists will make the trip, including reigning BXUK MCF British Quad Beachcross Champion Carl Bunce, former British and European QX champion John Mitchell, 2013 BXUK Champion Jamie Clarke and 2014 Champion Oli Sansom.
