Hi all,
     Due to a cancellation on a BASP first aid course at the end of the month
(28/29 Nov) there is a space going. If anyone is interested it costs £70 or
free to 'time served' bike patrollers.
     If anyone wishes to take this up, please respond as soon as possible.

Cheers,

Alister

The track will be open for everyone to benefit so we need your support.

There are a number of ways in which supporters can keep in touch with developments in the build up to the 24^th.

They can go to the Peoples Millions website and view the project at http://www.peoplesmillions.org.uk/regions/border/projects/cardrona-pump-n-jump-track

They can go to our page on Facebook and become a fan.  That way, we can easily broadcast the number to vote on 24^th Nov when it becomes available.

http://www.facebook.com/cardrona%20pump%20n'jump#/pages/Cardrona-Mains-United-Kingdom/Cardrona-Pump-nJump-Track/139517814173?ref=ts

The project can also be followed daily on Twitter at www.twitter.com/cardronapandj

Can you please forward this on to as many contacts as you can. I would like to develop a viral campaign over the coming weeks so that we have a very large network on supporters on board by 24^th when we all need to vote.

If you have any questions or indeed promotional ideas, I would be delighted to discuss them.

Best regards,

Rod

Just wanted to say a big thanks to everybody who helped out on Saturday.  The race was a great success, the sun was shining, not to many spills, Alister doing a fine job with the start gate and some great marshalling.

Thanks again

I've no longer got a car unfortunately so can only make it if I can get a lift!

Hi,
Rich, I plan to come along on the 12th December.

However, I will pass on this weeks session as I have a lot of catching up to do,
and cannot make the 14th (away in South Wales with a school group skiing).

Will see you on the 28th - when I will be late, I have to get a BASP Course up
and running before heading back down to Glentress.  Great to see three Bike
Patrollers booked on to it (thanks Alister).

Andy, I have chased up the banner for the start of Zoom or Bust that we spoke
about before the summer - I hope it will be finished in the next three weeks. 
Tavy works in that class, so will get him to keep things on course.


Hope the race goes well this weekend.

Bruce

Hello,

This Saturday there won't be a Trailfairy session digging trails at Glentress.  Instead the plan is to do something a wee bit different and help out with the U16's mini dh race that's on at Innerleithen - mainly marshaling duties.

If you fancy making it along, we'll be meeting at 10am (lie in!) at the Innerleithen car park.  Racing will run till around 4pm.  If you could post up here or let Rich Latimer know if you can make it along that would be great.  Rich's email is:  info@...

Not sure whether lunch is included, so best maybe to bring something along. 

The event will really help up and coming young riders experience DH racing, which is a very positive thing - a good amount of trail kharma points will be on offer for helping out with this endeavour!

At the next Trailfairy session on Sat 14th Nov we'll be back doing trailwork at Glentress on Zoom or Bust.  Think between this session and the following one 2 weeks later on Sat 28th Nov, we can get this section of trail finished!

Cheers,

Andy

Thanks for forwarding that, Andy. The blog was an interesting read and the
pictures from the article are really good. They even managed to get a photo of
Moray doing some work! ;-)

Great to be working on Zoom or Bust again, thanks to everyone who made it along, thought it was an excellent session and a fine spread of cakes too!  Think 2 more sessions on it and we'll have the trail completed.  Can't wait to ride the whole thing.

Thanks also for being so welcoming to Niklas, Per and Erik, who were across from Sweden for a few days checking out the trails and chatting trailbuilding.  Ace to meet other folk who are as equally into their soils!  Super nice guys.  Think they got a lot out of their trip.  They've done a write up on their blog already and article with some beautiful pictures.

Here's a note from Niklas including link to their blog:

Thank you very much again for everything! We got through customs with the McLeods as well… J And yes, the black route was trule amazing!

Per, Erik and I have worked hard putting together a travel diary that try to match up with the experience we had at Glentress, but we have come no where near the wonderful time You and your collegues gave us.

I am not sure if it’s interpretable or not, but I ran the trailbuilding part of the diary (which Per has written) through Google Translate, and here’s the result:

http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=sv&js=y&u=http%3A%2F%2Flugnetmtb.blogspot.com%2F&sl=sv&tl=en&history_state0=

A few explanations might be necessary: “stigbyggarskola” means “trail building school”, “leads” or “joints” means “trails”.

The whole travel diary did not come through very interpretable through Google Translate, but the pictures of course did, so check out the link at the end of the blog entry.

I’m also working on putting together a small film from the trip, but is no where near being finished yet. Hope to be so in a week or so!

Cheers,
Niklas

Cheers and have a great weekend!
