This Thursday's sessions are on at the usual times; the Sprogs run from 17:15 to 18:30 and the Yoofs run from 19:00 to 20:30. This week, the Yoofs will be aiming to ride the complete red route, so please take along something to drink and turn up at 18:45 to allow plenty time for registration and bike checking before the ride. The Sprogs coaching will take place on the 4X style race course that was set up for the Go-Ride at the Castle event and Rik will kick things off by covering race starts.
As per the information last week, we plan for the Sprogs to run on every Thursday during the summer holidays whilst the Yoofs will have a two week break before returning to weekly sessions for the rest of the season. Details of the summer coaching timetable will be posted on the blog later this week - these are already up on the club notice board in the Drumlanrig Stableyard together along with with our Go-Ride Clubmark certificates.
Finally, thanks to everyone who turned up for the trail building this evening - I'm sure you'll agree that we carved out an impressive length of brand new singletrack for one evenings work. For those who can spare the time. Rik is running another session next Tuesday starting at 18:30.

Drumlanrig Root Rats Coaching Thursday 25th June
Labels:
Coaching Sessions
This Thursday's sessions are on at the usual times; the Sprogs run from 17:15 to 18:30 and the Yoofs run from 19:00 to 20:30. This week for the Yoofs, we are planning to run a session on the descender race course that was set up for the Go-Ride at the Castle event but thundered off. It is getting close to our last chance to use this before it goes back to nature and it should be really good fun.
Over the summer, our current plans are for the Sprogs to run on every Thursday whilst the Yoofs will have a two week break before returning to weekly sessions for the rest of the season. Watch out for more details of the summer program next week. By the way, as promised earlier, the aim for the Yoofs next week will be to ride the whole of the red route.

Drumlanrig Dirt Crit (updated information)

Updated information on Drumlanrig Dirt Crit (posted Thursday 18th June 17:00)
I am afraid that Drumlanrig Rik's Bike Shed cycling club have been forced to alter the format of Dirt Crit Race that we are having at the Castle this Saturday. This is because we have been unable to appoint a race commissar in order to register the race with British Cycling. We apologise to all concerned for the late notice and will return any payments that have been made. Don't be disappointed though, because the good news is that with the help of Scottish Cycling, we are still going to hold a race event at Drumlanrig this Saturday and you are very much invited to attend. This will be a coach led racing event. The difference between this and the Dirt Crit is that the race will be run as a coaching session with entrants remaining under the supervision of the Drumlanrig / Scottish Cycling coaching team throughout the event. Don't worry though, we'll keep you all entertained with additional fun activities!
Sign on for the event will be at 10am and we plan to start the activities with a warm up and pre-ride at 10:30am so please aim to arrive for 09:45. For non-members / season ticket holders, there will be a nominal £2 parking charge payable at the Castle kiosk. Please get in touch by reply if you have any further questions. I am on 0775 284 1935 and Rik's Bike Shed can be called on 01848 330 080.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Here are details of the Drumlanrig Dirt Crit Youth MTB race on the 20th June 2009.

We are looking for volunteers to help with the marshalling on the day - please get in touch with Rik if you would be able to help out.
