Winter league round 7 – wolftrax 19/03/23

Great racing at wolftrax today for the winter league from both young and old! Many thanks to Lance, Stewart and Doug for organising and to Jacqui and Claire for doing the timekeeping. To celebrate Mother’s Day the ladies race included an additional loop up to the top of the Orange, aka the Gill Barnes special 🤣. The next and final race of this year’s Winter League will be at Nevis Range on Sunday the 2nd of April. Steve Bradley is organising this race and it will be an XC loop this year rather than an enduro – you have been warned! This race will be followed by a BBQ and the prizegiving.

Winter League Round 3 27/12/22- The Clare Mackintosh Memorial

Definitely Wintry weather for round 3 of the League. Well done to all of those who braved the snow and cold. Vince and Cammie set up a nice technical loop which was made extra spicy by the snowy conditions. Cammie stormed to victory to get his hands on the antler trophy. Many thanks to Vince and Cammie for setting and marking the course, to Jacqui for doing the timing and Leon and Jack for manning the soup kitchen. A huge thank you also to everyone who contributed towards the £166.41 raised for Marie Curie. The next race is at Glen Loy on the 15th of January and is being run by Mark Clark.

04/12/22 Winter league round 2 Achaderry Estate

On a dry but cold day 26 riders took part in the main race and 10 took part in the junior race, in the 2nd of this years Winter League series. This was a new new venue for the Winter League and was hosted by Leon Simms. The amount of effort that Leon put into organising the course and hosting was very much appreciated by everyone! Fair to say that this was a good old fashioned xc winter league race with some fierce climbs, almost unrideable bog and lots and lots of mud! Many thanks to Lance and Ruari for all their efforts in putting together the course and thanks to everyone else that helped with marshalling and timekeeping.
