Alpine Bikes Winter Series News

Last weekend was supposed to be the first round of the Alpine Bikes Winter series held at Innerliethen in the Scottish Borders. Unfortunatly on Saturday morning one of the marshalls unexpectedly collapsed and passed away. SPS events have released a statement about the incident which can be found in full here;

During this time I would ask you to spare a moment to think about the family and friends. I would also like to commend the way in which the sad news was haddled by all at the weekend, especially the organisers.

Busy busy busy for 2008....

We're only 3 weeks into the new year and I already seam to have a packed riding calendar. I've already hit the street, park and xc trails and I'll be getting my DH fix this weekend at round 1 of the Alpine bikes winter series. I've not far to travel at the races are being held at Innerliethen although I need to get my hands on some mud tyres as its been raining for weeks here in Edinburgh.
Also in the coming months are the other two rounds of the winter series plus the BUSA's in Cwm Carn. Edinburgh Uni are expecting big things this year and I'll be there to report back all the results and usuall shenanigans, so watch this space...
