661 Mini Downhill Race




Last race of the year and the 1st of the short course winter races at the Forest of Dean. The "ski run" was used, pretty apt considering the conditions of late! A very successful race for the Red Mist team with Dan Haines taking the win in his first race after going up to the Masters catergory and i'm sure he'll be a podium regular next season.

Our other Dan, Dan Ingram, has also moved up an age group taking the step into juniors. Always a tough catergory and 14th place was very respectable.

 Vets was a big field of 20+ entrants. Niall and myself were beaten into 2nd and 3rd respectively by the "young" Si Paton but you can't grumble about taking 2 podium spots!
A good fun race, well run and well supported by the sponsors.


Thanks to Tina Ingram for the pics.

661 Mini Downhill

Forest of Dean this weekend for the first mini downhill of the winter.
 We went for a couple of hours practice today to check out conditions and get a feel for the track, racing tomorrow should be fun, its a bit wet and hopefully won't freeze up overnight!

Winter is here...

Well that's the 2010 season done and dusted, winter is here and although racing takes a break we don't!
One of our first off season missions was to build a new section of track at Caersws. One weekend of hard graft has pretty much seen the job done although another weekend is needed to complete it, ride it, and make any tweeks that are needed. All being well it'll be raced on early next season!
