Cannondale rider Josh ‘Ratboy’ Bryceland added to his portfolio of events that bring the biking community together. This time, four years in the making, he goes one step toward being the organiser of his race. Enduro enthusiasts, both pro and newbie, had the opportunity to ride together on the eight stages scattered around his hometown in Cheshire. But with the not-so-surprising rain dropping the stages to five.

The Bolly Skyline Enduro was a perfect venue for other businesses to come together and participate in this new event. Another occasion was designed to gather the community together and enjoy the weekend. The stages, created by Josh himself, allowed the riders to go big and have their own ‘air time’ with features boosting the bikes and their egos in front of a supportive crowd.

The inaugural Bolly Skyline Enduro was a success and really captured the spirit of mountain biking. It allowed racers from top pros to average “Joes” to test their mettle on a course laid out by one of the sport's best in a truly special location in Bollinginton.

Leaving the dicipline of downhill racing in 2016, Josh pursued the ever-growing Enduro racing scene and, since then, has followed a freeride philosophy with a focus of bringing the community together. Being naturally drawn to create a platform to ride, whether for himself or others to enjoy, Josh has advocated building places with him in the past.

During lockdown, turning his home into a dirt-jumping escape, using a "no-dig-no-ride" principle proves the adventure isn't just about where you're going but what you build along the way.
