Drumlanrig Root Rats Coaching Thursday 27th August

Coaching is on as usual with the Sprogs session (U12 group) running from 17:15 to 18:30 and the Yoofs (U16 group) will from 19:00 to 20:30. Graeme Scott will be out with the Yoofs this week and we'll be going out for a ride in the woods.

This coming Tuesday is the first Tuesday of the month and that means that it is a trail building night. The trail building session will start at 18:30 and end at 20:00 and we will be working on the race course that Rik has designed for the SXC race, which takes place on the 20th September. So why not come along - this will probably be the last trail building Tuesday of the year.
