Kids Summer Dirt Crit Series at Glentress

It was the 3rd event in this popular series at Glentress last night.

Peebles Cycling Club, who organise things have these races dialled - commentary; music; coffee/tea and cake stand; barriered start/finish straight; an ace short, not too hilly but super fun course that's makes for exciting racing and great spectating; lap boards; chequered flag; cow bells; enthusiastic competitors and supporters; races for all ages from 6 - 16 years old.

The atmosphere is pretty special. People out in the forest having lots of fun. Bravo PCC and all involved. The organisers sum things up perfectly: "a truly grass-roots experience open to all young riders who want a taste of racing in a friendly, exciting atmosphere".

If you fancy having a go the final 3 races in the series are on Thu 30th July, 6th Aug and 13th Aug. More info at http://www.entrycentral.com/index.php?festivalID=107

Nearly 60 kids were out racing and having fun last night. The future for mountain biking looks very good indeed.
