Author Topic: 2010 Scottish Old School Summer Series (Read 1908 times)

After a horrendous winter, cancelling many of the Winter Series rounds and destroying the track surface, we have been working hard to get it ready for the Summer Series.

We are now set for a superb season of racing as Scottish BMX continues to firmly put itself back on the map. The introduction of a second track in Cumbernauld, Glasgow will certainly mix things up and bring more faces, old and new, to the track. With the redevelopment of the Nairn and Musselburgh tracks, the future is looking bright for Scottish BMX. With this in mind, we would like to extend a warm welcome to any rider South of the border who is willing to make the trip. Some of you attended last year and had a great time, I believe. We aslo have regular classes for all ages as well as cruiser and mtb, so whatever your bag were worth the visit.

Race fees are £8 Seniors, £5 Juniors. You will require a BC membership to race, otherwise there is a £5 charge for a day membership. You can blame Scottish Cycling for that one.

The first date in the Scottish Oldschool calendar for Summer 2010 will be Sunday 18th April at Clydebank, Glasgow so lets see you on the gate. Oh, and the legendary Scottish 'Andy Ruffell' will be there and may even race. Also reigning Old School British Champion - Ian Archibald who will hopefully be back on his bike after his horrific elbow injury at Preston last October.

We are also proud to announce that the new RIDE BMX Club in Cumbernauld, Glasgow are this year to play host to the 2010 Scottish Open Championship - Sunday 5th September. Regular classes + Oldschool. More details to follow. So Pencil this date in your diaries as it promises to be a great event. Let's hope the weather gods are kinder to us this year.

Nice one guys. We are aware that some of the dates clash with North Regionals, but it was unavoidable as we were trying to avoid the Nationals.

Hopefully some will choose us, over some these races as we are the home of the Old School

Oh no...

A few of these clash with the north reg races that I go to .

When my body lets me I will still continue doing what I was doing last year as I prefer riding the old school north reg races . I will go to the Clydebank and Cumbernauld ones when the dates dont clash.

Also notice there is possible dates for interclub races up our way. If the dates were put to those dates we would not get get much of a clash with the dates from the North reg and that friends would make for more racing for all. Do`nt think that would happen though

Sweet, I've been following progress of your tracks. I had a great weekend racing at Musslebrough BiTD. I'd like to get to one of your races but that'll depend on circumstances, especially with my van being poorly sick.

Maybe us Sassenachs should pencil in the Scottish open on the 5th of September - I think the only other race in Sept is the Brits.

If a few of us "southerners" made the effort for one specific date we could make it a reet good 'un.
