We like beer and we like racing so Spin Up in a Brewery, an evening on roller racing on Saturday May 26 hosted by the Kinesis Morvelo Project and Dark Star Brew Co, sounds like a good idea to us.

The event takes place at Dark Star’s brewery in West Sussex and starts at 1pm with a ride out – both on and off-road routes will be on offer – and you can throw a bag in the van with some clean clothes for when you arrive back at the brewery.

Roller racing starts at 3pm and is organised by South Coast Sprints, with impromptu competitions and prizes through the day, while the eight fastest riders will race head-to-head in the finals.

Tickets cost £5, which includes a pint of Dark Star – a beer brewed exclusively for the event – and there will be a BBQ cooking up a feast all day using fresh, local ingredients from the local Dark Star pub. There will also be a selection of award winning ales for you to try and buy, plus a range of soft drinks and wine.

The event comes to a close at 8pm but, if you want to keep the party going, the organisers will be heading to The Partridge Dark Star pub just around the corner. With blue skies and warm weather forecast, it sounds like a winner to us. Head to www.spinupinabrewery.com for more.
