Calling all Aberdeenshire Mountain bikers – fancy a race?

Calling anyone in Aberdeen area who fancies a bit of fun racing. So, I have managed to get off my posterior and arrange something.

‘Mates Races’ (shamelessly stolen idea from Dirt article) are going to happen the first Thursday of each month at various locations all around the local area. The races will be enduro type races with timed stages, mostly going down the contours but there will inevitably be some up as well.

First one is this Thursday – if you fancy it, email me on abzmatesrace@hotmail.co.uk and I will send you all the info and add you to the mailing list for future stuff. getting quite a good response so far so there should be a good field and some fun to come!

Come and get amongst it, get a local scene going.

Hopefully see you there

what time do you anticipating it ending at ?

any one going back to culter afterwards for space for 1 + bike ?

reckon it will take up to about 8 o’clock. I can give you a lift as far as westhill if you want.

I can give you a lift home, i am near enough there anyway. I must of ridden past your house on saturday then (on road bike) as road past the stones then.

Can I come and play, you’ll have to give me a lift home too though 🙂

Hi D

Did you or your mates bump into my mate Marky Mark yesterday prior to the race? He was the guy on the polished Turner Flux with the knackered SIDs.

Cheers

Sanny

not that i remember sanny.

anyone else have their strava on ? I “think” ive turned the stages into segments

I coudn’t make it but I’ve heard good things from two friends who were there; so well done marionheck

Certainly no room for mistakes. There’s a lot of fit and capable bikers around these parts.
