New downhill course for the North East

A new downhill track has been created at Kidland Forest in the Cheviot Hills, and it's set to host its first race next month.

The black-rated run is the result of two years' work by riders' group Northern Downhill in partnership with the Forestry Commission and the Northumberland National Park Authority.

Packed with twists, turns and technical features, and described as "steep and fast", the sub-three-minute track will be used solely for competitions.

The first race at the venue will be the opening round of the new Northern Downhill Series, on 4-5 April. It is expected to attract up to 150 riders.
