Bikeforce Midweek Summer Series
THE SUMMER SERIES IS OVER FOR 2008 BUT WILL BE BACK IN FEBRUARY 2009 WITH BIKEFORCE MIDLAND ONCE AGAIN JUMPING ON BOARD! THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO ATTENDED AND HAD FUN.
Starting Wednesday 20th February we will be holding a social race/ride night at The Goatfarm in Greenmount.
Bikeforce Midland are getting right behind this event and will be on hand each Wednesday night to help out and offer test rides on the new 2008 Trek range. They will also throw in some prizes for whatever they feel deserves a prize.
The rides will take on different formats. Each week we will start with a basic 15 minute short course/dirt crit. These are done on a track that is about 800 metres long. Good to watch and easy to ride. You can do it hard or easy. We will then have a second event that will change each week. It will be either a Super D or a Pony Express.
The Pony Express is a randomly selected relay race. We put you together in teams of two and then send you out one at a time to do a relay. This allows for plenty of time to stand around and chat and meet some new people as well as do some fun riding.
The Super D is an uphill downhill race. Ride up the xc and down the downhill. Who will win the super light xc bike or the downhiller with some travel to soak up the bumps on the way back down.
FOR THE BEGINNER
Each week I will take any beginners for an easy ride to start off to help them get comfortable with dirt riding. If you feel comfortable after the first half hour then you can join in with the second event or just keep riding the new beginner trail around the creek.
When: 6pm for a 630 start each Wednesday for five weeks starting 20th February
Where: The Goatfarm. Greenmount Rise Greenmount. Parking in the bottom carpark just near the entrance.
For Who: From the absolute first timer to the World Cup rider.
Cost: FREE for members or $10 for non members. You can join on the night. You MUST have your membership card with you to race for free. Just check in at the table at the start area.
This series is about fun and fitness. If you want to get some trainign in for the season ahead then this is a great place to start. If you just want to come out and meet some new people then it is even better.
