Winter League sponsored by Off Beat Bikes
This a fun series aimed at getting you out riding on your mountain bike at a time of year when you might otherwise be tempted to sit in front of the fire watching the TV. Non members can do 1 or maybe 2 at a cost of £4 each, but then have to join. We have members all over the North West of Scotland so hopefully there will be a winter league venue somewhere near you. You can treat them as seriously as you like.
All winter league races start at 11:00 am *
The best six races for each rider count towards the final league total, so you can miss a couple of races and have a puncture or just a "bad day" and still stay in the competition right to the end.
If you do 6 out of 9 full races you qualify for a t-shirt sponsored by Off Beat Bikes
*except the Christmas handicap (1pm) which is not part of the series.
Little kids
There are some locations where there will be small kids events. Under 9’s need to be accompanied by an adult and they will start at 10.30 and be over in time for the adults race to start. For slightly bigger kids, there will be a suitable length loop starting at 11.
Bigger kids and those who want an easier life
Some of the courses offer the option of a shorter course for anybody (young teenagers/sane adults/those with hangovers?) who are not quite up for a full circuit. These will still involve pedalling up (some quite fierce) hills and possibly some single track, but they will give you the option of taking your time and still finishing at the same time as the hotshots!
