Chiller 24

Chiller 24 24 hours of mountain bike racing around the weather proof trails of northern England. After years in the planning 2017 was the first Kielder Chiller 24.

The conditions were simply horrendous with constant sleet, snow, rain and driving winds. Through all this there were nothing but smiles and focussed determination as everyone braved the elements and battled each other for the range of podium places on offer. Kielder in winter is an unforgiving place. It sits 200m above sea level and catches the worst of whatever weather systems are blowing in. You must be prepared with mind, spirit and equipment to see yourself through. We'll make sure you enjoy your time as safely as possible and will laugh hard if you stack it into the undergrowth. Now then...have you got what it takes to challenge the Chiller?

EVENT CANCELLED. We've just emailed participants to let them know that the Chiller 24 in 2026 is cancelled. It's sitting with low numbers and very far away from where it needs to be. Those of you who have been on this journey from the early days will know that this is an event put on out of passion for this particular type of mountain bike racing. You'll also know that in all but one year it's been operating at a loss. So the heart says yes but the financial reality says no and Cold Brew can no longer use other events to prop up this one. I dread to think how many hours have been spent trying to keep this event going. From the first two in the wind/ rain/ snow/ hail/ ice through to a nice mild October race and not forgetting the lightening fest not so long ago. There are some great memories in there with fantastic people but at some point life kicks in as you need to stop pushing a heavy weight up hill. Will it return in the future? Maybe. Never say never. In the near future however, there won't be a Chiller 24.

Thanks for all the awesome memories and I hope to bump into people in the future.

On the back of success at both the Chiller as a rider and the Puffer as pit crew it was time to catch up with all round 24 hour cycling legend and great bloke Keith Forsyth. Have a read.

7th November 2026. Write that date tentatively in your diary for another weekend of Chiller racing. Still need to tick boxes with Forestry England and the campsite but that's what we're aiming for. 🙏
