I missed the first round a couple of weekends ago due to not knowing it was on, but thankfully, thanks to the powers of Facebook I can tell you that the second round is this Saturday.

It might sound a bit like ice speedway, but it’s not.

Minibikes are great craic, and as often as not, its where some of our best short circuit riders start off.
