iXS European DH Cup returns to Innerleithen in 2012

2012-01-04T15:33:00.004Z

15-17 June 2012

Innerleithen MTB Racing is delighted to announce a return of the iXS European Downhill Cup to Innerleithen. This is the biggest downhill race in the UK outside the World Cup at Fort William and follows the huge success of the event held at Innerleithen in 2010 when over 300 competitors raced on a specially constructed one-off track through Traquair Forest, watched by several thousand spectators. Many of the World’s top riders are expected to compete as next year’s event takes place a week after the Fort William event.

Innerleithen is recognised as a World Class downhill venue and that recognition coupled with the success of 2010 has seen the series return for 2012. A purpose built track will again be constructed specifically for the event with a fantastic mix of natural lines and manmade features. The event arena will be the focus for competitors and spectators alike with lots to do, see, buy and try. The event weekend will include a Film Night, Dual Slalom and Pump Track competitions and a Mini-Downhill event for under 16’s. Free entry for spectators over the three days gives access to all the action as well as on-site catering, kids skills area, timber tester track and trade stands.

The main event is a traditional downhill event with uplift service over the three days. Practice on the Friday with further practice and qualifying on the Saturday will be followed by final practice and race runs on Sunday.

Part of the ethos of the iXS European Downhill Cup is inclusion. To that end, a race licence is not required for the event, so anyone can enter and race with the World’s best. Entries open soon.

Innerleithen MTB Racing 2012 Alpine Winter Series

2011-11-24T20:16:00.001Z

Innerleithen MTB Racing is delighted to announce the Alpine Winter Series of events as follows:

Weekend 28th/29th January Alpine Winter Series Race 1
Multi-Stage XC Enduro

Weekend 18th/19th February Alpine Winter Series Race 2
Multi-Stage Day/Night Enduro

Weekend 3rd/4th March Alpine Winter Series Race 3
Traditional Downhill Race

All events will be held within Traquair Forest, Innerleithen.

For the first time, Innerleithen MTB Racing and Alpine Bikes are working together to bring you the 2012 Alpine Winter Series. There are some changes to the series including more multi-stage style races in recognition of feedback from riders. The Series consists of three races over three months with prizes in various categories for individual races as well as the overall series. A special prize will be awarded to the rider with the best overall series performance that uses the same bike for all three races.

The first Alpine Winter Series race in January is a Multi-Stage XC Enduro comprised of a number of special stages on the Sunday, with practice allowed on the Saturday afternoon. This is a relaxed event where riders ride between special timed stages with their mates, swapping stories of the stage just completed and those yet to come. Special stages are mainly downhill XC routes, with some climbing included. January in Innerleithen could give us anything from glorious sunshine to drifting snow, so good tyre choice will be essential.

February sees race two in the Alpine Winter Series – a Multi-Stage Day/Night Enduro. A similar relaxed atmosphere to Race One is expected, but this time the special stages will be raced at night, as well as by day.

The final race in the Alpine Winter Series is a traditional DH event with uplift service. Practice and qualifying on the Saturday will be followed by further practice and race runs on Sunday.

This prize giving will include the award of the overall Winter Series Champion.

Entries open soon !!

Mini DH round 2 - report and results

2011-08-29T14:15:00.001+01:00

On Sunday it was time for round 2 of the series, and not soon enough for the 72 racers who took part. For many it was their first taste of downhill racing, and they loved the fun track set up by Steve of i-Cycles bike shop in Innerleithen.

Riders can do as many runs as they want and Rob Waite rode an impressive 7 timed runs ! With that kind of enthusiasm and commitment the future of downhill racing is pretty safe in Innerleithen. The course was greasy and tricky to start and had some challenging bends for the riders, but as the day went on, the track dried and the riders started learning their lines the times started getting faster.

There was a good turn-out in the Girls race, with a full podium. Rebecca Kennedy, current Scottish Champion in her age group, took the win with a time of 1.44. James Purvis continued his winning streak taking the 10-years male 1st place at 1.29. Times were close at the top in the 13-14 years male, Neil Stewart taking the win in 1.28, with Brad Swinbank on the same time, and the top place awarded for consistent times through out the day. Rory McRitchie won the 15-16 years male in 1.19 and Calum McRitchie was the fastest 17-18 year old in 1.09, the fastest run of the day.

Full results, including all race runs, are below.

This race series is run with the support of the Tweeddale Sports Council, Grease Monkey Cycles and i-Cycles of Innerleithen. The final round of the series is on 30th October, a special Spooky Downhill race.

Round 1 Mini DH - Buchanan victory !

2011-08-17T18:40:00.001+01:00

The first round of the Mini DH series took place 31st July at Traquair Forest in Innerleithen. A category for 17-18 year olds was added at the request of the riders, when what we should have added was a category for local world cup riders !

There can’t be many series that can claim to have such a wide range of rider abilities competing, with 10 year olds in their first race riding on the same track as the current British Junior National Champion and World Cup competitors. Lewis Buchanan from Innerleithen came and raced the first round, and as expected set the fastest time of the day in the 17-18 year olds at 0.56 on the short track but challenging and fun track, set by Steve at i-Cycles.

Rona Strivens was the sole female rider in the race, setting an excellent time of 1.59. The male 10-12 category was won by James Purvis in 1.14, male 15-16 by Brodie Hood in 1.00. The male 13-14 had two riders on the same time of 1.21, Ross Swinton and Brad Swinbank. On a count back of times the 1st place was awarded to Ross, with the fastest average time over the day.

This race series is run with the support of the Tweeddale Sports Council, Grease Monkey Cycles and i-Cycles of Innerleithen. Full results below.

Vattenfall Innerleithen Classic

2011-05-30T19:04:00.006+01:00

It wasn’t picnic weather this weekend but that didn’t dampen the mountainbikers’ enjoyment at the Vattenfall Classic Enduro.
Riders raced over two days on the course designed by Steve Deas of i-Cycles in Innerleithen. They came from all over the UK to take on the Visit Tweed Valley, The Bike Lodge and i-Cycles stages on Saturday. The race was held over two days on a circuit of around 30km, with times recorded for completing special stages during the day. These times were added together for each rider to give their overall time for the Enduro.

After day one, it was clear that the battle was back on between local man Gary Forrest and former world class Downhiller Crawford Carrick-Anderson. 20 seconds had separated them at the Winter Enduro in January, and at close of play on saturday only 4 seconds lay between them, with Gary sharing fastest time with Chris Buchan.

Saturday night entertainment was provided by the Dual Slalom, a short sharp style of racing where 2 riders take each other on over the short grassy course in an elimination contest. David Winton took the victory for the Seniors and Niall Morrison the Juniors.

On Sunday there were some tired legs in the carpark, but nothing could keep the riders back from the challenge of the Aim-up, Traquair Arms and Innerleithen MTB Racing stages, and it was all smiles as they finished at the bottom of the hill in the sunshine.

After a fun afternoon of racing, Gary Forrest took the victory in the overall with a finishing time of 28.51. Crawford Carrick-Anderson won the Vets race in 28.59, Niall Morrison the Juniors in 34.50. Emma Guy was fastest woman of the weekend with a time of 39.06. Cash prizes and bike clocks went to the fastest male and female riders and vouchers from Alpine Bikes for the rest of the podium places. Full results are available here.
We spoke to Gary after the race: “I had a great race, rode pretty clean and only made one mistake when I lost my bike on a corner so happy with that. It was good to race on some nice natural trails, Steve at i-Cycles designed a cracking course”.

Colin Ormston, Vattenfall's Head of Onshore Wind Development UK who presented the prizes on Sunday said: “Vattenfall are really pleased to get behind this event which provides such a unique mountainbiking experience. It has been a fantastic weekend and by supporting the Vattenfall Innerleithen Classic Enduro as part of our continued commitment to the community we hope to contribute to success of building sustainable tourism in the Scottish Borders.”

The organisers Innerleithen MTB Racing would like to extend their thanks to Vattenfall for supporting their event and their ongoing support to the community, and to all the local people who helped to run the event and contributed to a brilliant weekend at the Vattenfall Innerleithen Classic Enduro.

Next event at Innerleithen is the Tweedlove Crosslove race at St Ronan’s primary school on 17th June. Check the Tweedlove website for details.

Full details of the event below.

Vattenfall Innerleithen Classic Enduro 28-29th May

2011-03-31T19:42:00.005+01:00

Following the huge (it was sold out) success of the Enduro round of the Winter MTB Series in January, Innerleithen MTB Racing are now holding a two day event over the World famous mountain bike trails at Innerleithen in the Scottish Borders. This new format will see competitors compete over two days and six different tracks in what promises to be a great weekend. The tracks themselves are a mixture of off-piste trails both old and new for the event. Riders make their way to the start of each section in their own time and are then individually timed over the mainly downhill track before heading to the next one. There will be an overall time limit for each day’s action. To add to the already relaxed and friendly atmosphere, an optional dual slalom will be run on the Saturday evening alongside the event race party. This is an exciting format to take part in, but is equally as exciting to watch, heckle and generally make some noise. Enter here now !

Pre-order your packed lunch from i-dropoff here.

How to get here: From Carlisle Take the A74(M) to junction 15 (Beattock) and turn onto the A701. Continue on the A701 the road through Moffat. About 11km past Tweedsmuir, turn right onto B712 (signposted for Stobo). After around 12km the road meets the A72. Turn right and head for Peebles. Once through Peebles town centre, continue on the A72. Go past Glentress (on your left) and on to Innerleithen.

From Edinburgh Join the A703 to Peebles just south of the Edinburgh City Bypass (A720). Note that the road becomes the A701 between Penicuik and Leadburn, but reverts to being the A703 from Leadburn to Peebles. At Peebles, take a left at the roundabout where the A703 meets the A72. Glentress is signposted, with the 7stanes trails signposted a little further on. Follow the road for around 9km. Arriving in Innerleithen, turn right onto the B709 (Traquair Road).

Crosslove 17th June

2011-03-24T20:27:00.002Z

A cyclocross race, in summer, on a Friday evening? Yep, you read right. Alongside the Pumptrack Challenge, Tweedlove and Innerleithen MTB Racing present Crosslove. Cyclocross (or ‘cross for short) is ridiculously good fun and quite possibly the friendliest, cheapest and most accessible type of bicycle racing out there, so we thought it high time we showed ‘cross some lovin’. They’ll be categories for all ages and any bike with knobbly/grooved tyres will work just fine, hell even a shopper bike would do! The format is beautifully simple: race your socks off for an hour (or less depending on your category) doing several laps around a compact course; and if spectating is more your thing, ring those cowbells hard!

Enduro report

2011-02-01T21:17:00.008Z

At last it has arrived in Innerleithen - the format that puts the fun back into mountain bike racing. 130 happy punters made their way up down and around the hill at Traquair Forest on Sunday all finishing with one thing in common, big grins and wanting more !

The first riders were off early, many in groups of friends, heading up to the top of the hill for the first of three tracks on offer, completed in sequence with the combined time for all three counting towards the final result. The tracks varied in character from natural and loamy through pedally or steep and even some manmade rocky bits, but all gave a good taste of the challenging riding at the Forestry Commission Scotland venue. What didn't vary was the camaraderie among the racers and friendly professionalism of the marshals and event staff.

Gary Forrest was first back at 11.00 and was virtual leader with a time of 18.42. Riders then came to the finish in groups, as the day went on, and compared their results with their mates as they caught their breath.

All eyes were on Crawford Carrick-Anderson as he came down the last descent but it wasn't quite his perfect day, finishing 20 seconds behind Gary in 19.02 and the Vets winner, but requesting that the race is two laps of the course next time ! George Gannicott was fastest Junior in 21.39 and Gill Davies fastest Woman in 28.41.

Full results

This was race 1 of a series of events at Innerleithen to start the year, next race is a Mini DH Sunday 13th February, where you push your bike up to the start of a short track and can have as many timed runs as you have the energy and enthusiasm to complete.

The 3rd event is the now traditional XC season opener Mountain Time Trial on 13th March, with riders leaving at one minute intervals and completing one lap of a 25km course, with the Alistair Lees Memorial Trophy awarded to the fastest vet male.

Enduro final details

2011-01-26T23:28:00.002Z

Entries are now closed, all the places have been taken and even the weather isn't looking too bad for the weekend so here are the final details:

Saturday, you can sign-on in i-Cycles 12:00-15:00 and pick-up your race number, look at the route maps and get the latest trail chat. The course will be marked out on the hill and open for inspection. This is not marshalled so look out for each other and the course. If you find any missing signs or track problems let us know.

Sunday
8:00 and 10:30 sign-on open in the car park
8:30 and 11:00 pick up timing tag and depart
13:00 stage 1 closes
14:00 stage 2 closes
15:00 stage 3 closes
15:30 course closes
16:00 presentations

Course
The course is 20km long with 900m of climbing and descending, there should be plenty of time for you to get around before stages close. The course will be marked with arrows and signs on the downs and the return back to the top. There will also be tape to help keep you on track on the way back down. There will be maps provided at the start, sign-on and with all the marshals. If you get a bit lost just head back to the top of Plora Rig where all the tracks start, or ask a marshal who will put you right!

Format
A wee reminder about the format for the event; the event consists of 3 timed stages (mostly downhill), the combined time from these gives you your finish time. The transitions between these stages are not counted towards finish time so you can take as long as you want within reason.

Timing
We are using electronic tags to time the event. You will carry these around the course on a wrist band and it is your responsibility to look after these and 'dib' in to the control point at the start and finish of each stage. There will be a marshal at the end of each stage to help. You must complete the stages in the correct order for your times to make any sense!
If you start a stage and have a problem on course before you finish the stage then you can head back to the top and start again but you need to inform the event staff when finishing other wise the first time will count.
Once you have finished a stage you can't rerun it.
After a stage closes the timing controls are removed and the marshals go home.
Your timing tags need to be returned after you have finished the final stage for you to get a time and placing and for us to get your timing tag back (there will be £25 charge for lost tags!)

Other
We are hoping for a relaxed and fun event so go easy on the race egos and look out for other riders. If you need to pass another rider on a stage be courteous and likewise if someone quicker wants to get by let them.
Please take any litter with you off the hill.

How to get here:

From Carlisle

Take the A74(M) to junction 15 (Beattock) and turn onto the A701. Continue on the A701 the road through Moffat. About 11km past Tweedsmuir, turn right onto B712 (signposted for Stobo).

Halloween Dual Slalom

2010-11-03T13:53:00.000Z

A clear cold autumnal day and lunch time saw the arrival of the dual Slalom team to a damp and wet field behind the wigwams at Glentress. Time for the inaugural Halloween Dual Slalom, this time in the dark.

The format was simple, two lanes, one blue, one red, weaving their way down the top field through the water and in to the ready made berms and jumps in the lower field. The sun was starting to set, the bonfire was built and the generators and lights were in position to enable the riders to see where they were going.

Upwards of twenty riders of all ages came to give it a go, young and old, some with lights and some with a supernatural ability to see in the dark. One or two in fancy dress, the sun went down, the cold wet grass turned frosty, the water in the stream was dark, cold and ready to soak anybody who failed to reach the bottom field.

Lights on and the race poles glowing, the racing started, timed runs against anybody brave enough to race. 2 blue runs and 2 red runs to set your times with a cold walk back to the start in between. Both lanes offering something different and that cold water just ready to catch you. U16’s versus O16’s, hardtails versus full suspension. Qualifying completed it was time to get a warm by the dual slalom bonfire before the semi’s began. Lots of spectator’s, lots of cameras and a course that looked like an outtake from close encounters of a third kind.

The semi’s began, one or two false starts and couple of riders in the cold dark water. Finally Grant Ferguson and Jake (Chewbacca) Hood make it to the O16’s final. Closely followed By Andrew Winton and Ewan Mackay for U16’s final. Things were tense, nothing but darkness all around. Chewbacca took the first of the final runs, only to be undone by the cold icy water in the 2nd run. A shout of pain in places where pain shouldn’t be and the realisation that the race was lost. It was Grant’s race.

Finally the U16’s, now tired from the numerous push-ups, concentration on the eye’s of both riders, the spectators long since moved to the bonfire to stay warm and Chewbacca nursing his wounds. Off they went, neck and neck, through the water and in to the berms, across the line, not much in it! Then the decision. it was Andrew’s race. A roar from the bonfire crew and that was it, the end of the 2010 Halloween Dual Slalom.

The organisers, Bike Track People would like to thank everybody for the help and support to put this race together. It was a fantastic night and well done to all the riders for braving the cold and the dark. See you in the snow.

St Ronan’s School Cyclocross 2010

2010-10-10T22:31:00.009+01:00

In its second year St Ronan’s Youth cyclocross event goes from strength to strength, with 63 young cyclists participating in two hours of quality coaching in the morning before a brief rest for the racing in the afternoon.

At the start of the day the riders were split into 4 groups and during the morning they rotated round different coaching stations learning new skills at each station under the direction of qualified coaches from Peebles Cycling Club and Kids Innerleithen Cycle Club.

The coaching culminated in an exciting relay race with all 63 riders coming together to form nine teams racing a short course with parents cheering them on.

Following the coaching there was time to sample the St Ronan’s PTAs soup and cake stall and refuel before an afternoon of racing.

The afternoons racing consisted of five races split by age group; Under 8s, 10s, 12s, 14s and for the first time an over 14 age group which incorporated adults.

Fourteen riders set off at a fast pace for the Under 8s race after 10 minutes of racing Murray Aitken and Elise Reed both from Peebles Cycling Club (PCC) came in first for the boys and girls respectively.

The Under 10s race provided the biggest field of the day with some very close racing. Ben Balfour (PCC) and Anna MacGorum (PCC) were first boy and girl.

The Under 12s racing was very exciting with any of the top five boys all in a position to win throughout the race. Michael Hastings (all the way from Isla) took the lead and looked to be set for a win before the race came back together in the last half lap when Sean Flynn from Edinburgh Road Club (ERC) surged ahead to take first place. Louisa Watt from PCC took the win for the girls.

The Under 14s races was fast and furious with the top three boys all riding cross bikes. The dry weather made for fast laps and there was no rest on any part of the course. Callum MaGowan (PCC) took the win in the boys with Emma Borthwick (ERC) taking the win for the girls.

It was quality not quantity for the over 14s race with a reduced field (no adults this year maybe next year) but excellent racing with some super fast laps. After 30 minutes of racing it was Stuart Wilcox of i-Cycles and Lucy Grant (PCC) who stood on the top of the podium.

Full results here

Innerleithen MTB Racing, Peebles Cycling Club, St Ronan’s Primary School and Scottish cycling worked in partnership to bring this unique combination of cycle coaching and racing to the area. Thanks is due to the St Ronan’s primary school for giving their permission to use the school, St Ronan’s PTA for providing the catering, Rich Latimer (Innerleithen MTB Racing) for organisation of the event and all the volunteers who helped make the event happen.

Keith Belleville, Acting Head teacher, St. Ronan's Primary School who came along to cheer the riders on the day event said, "We are very lucky at St. Ronan's to have such a large and diverse area around the school and we try to encourage all sorts of outdoor activities, so it was a real pleasure to host the Cyclocross event once again this year. It was great to see our school grounds being used by so many young cyclists from across the district in a well-organised, fun setting."

David Winton East Region Cycling Development coach said "The event at St Ronan’s provides local riders the opportunity to have a day of cycling learning new skills and then put it into practise with fun relaxed races. This type of event is key to growing cycling in the Borders region and we are very fortunate to have the support of St Ronan’s school and local volunteers."

There are two more Youth cyclocross events as part of the Youth South of Scotland series. Contact your Regional Development Coach David Winton for more information or to become involved in developing cycling: david.winton@scottishcycling.com or 07908673219.

What is Cyclocross?

Cyclocross is a winter cycling discipline which is very popular among mountain bike racers and road racers alike. The races are held around a short lap with a variety of terrain. The circuits often feature obstacles like small hurdles and running is often common due to the mud during the winter. Mountain bikes are most commonly used by younger riders although Cyclocross specific bikes are available. Cyclocross in Scotland is a fun way to fill the winter months and there is a national series of events run by SCX (http://www.scottishcyclocross.org.uk/). They have a reputation for being fun and welcoming events.

Mini Downhill Round 3

2010-08-23T21:03:00.004+01:00

The final round of the Innerleithen Mini DH was a massive success on sunday with a record entry of 80 riders aged 10-16 taking part and loving it ! Riders came from Inverness in the north and Keswick in the south to ride the fantastic mini course designed by the team from i-Cycles. Good weather has been the theme of these events and sunday followed the plan keeping the course dry and dusty with just enough challenge.

In the Girls race new face Erin Maguire won her first race, she will certainly be a name to watch. Blair Aitchison won the Boys 15-16, Niall Morrison the Boys 13-14 and the Boys 10-12 ended up in a photo finish, but we didn't have a camera so declared a draw between Adam Hughes and James Purvis.

These have been brilliant events, with the riders having a great time and honing their racing and riding skills. Innerleithen MTB Racing would like to thank all those who have helped, MacKays Furniture of Edinburgh for sponsorship, i-Cycles for the course, Tweed Valley Bike Patrol and the Glentress Trail Faeries for helping with marshalling, i-Cycles for the courses and Scottish Cycling for coaching sessions. And last of all, most importantly, the Lavendar Trust for the BBQ and cakes.

Alistair Lees Memorial XC TT 28th March

2010-02-07T17:20:00.010Z

It's back for 2010 and it's better ! Voted for recently in an online poll that we started as the Best Course Ever, the traditional early season XC time trial will take place on Sunday 28th March.

This year we will be using a 21km course, and all riders will complete one lap. This is a great event if you are just starting out at XC, with all riders leaving at one minute intervals from 11.01 and no start line tussles. If you are a novice please let us know and we will send you out early.

The trophy, in memory of our friend Alistair who died of cancer in November 2007, will be awarded in the Vet Mens category. We will be taking a split time at the top of the course, and a prize will be awarded for the fastest male and female riders on that section.

Entry will stay at £15, now open on entry central follow the link on the right. Free entry if you can provide a marshal, speak to Helen or pop in and see Steve in i-Cycles.

Race Team

2009-10-10T19:48:00.026+01:00

Ross Wilcox Riding in the Youth category this year, Ross competes in both XC and DH often finishing in a 1-2 with his brother Stuart. In one legendary day in 2009 he took silver medals in both events at the British National Champs ! Who says you have to pick a discipline ?

Douglas Shearer Expert class rider, racing SXC, some of the NPS and 24hr stuff with the Glencroft Rabble. And the 'cross. Best result ? 2nd place at Sherwood Pines 2010. Quote: "At one cattle grid I almost became a human suppository, as both riders on the front failed to warn those behind, and braked rather suddenly and excessively." Dougie is not a fan of road racing !

Keith Forsyth Useful in most disciplines, Keith has shown his best form in the endurance events, winning the British 24 hour solo champs in 2010 in the Vets cat. He took that form to Australia for the World Champs, coming home with a bronze medal.

Scott Lindsay
Youth rider Scott rides in most disciplines, and won his category in the Scottish Cyclocross series in 2009. He also represented Scotland with Ross and Stuart in a mountain bike stage race in Belgium in 2010.

Ross Swinton

Our youngest team member, Ross rides the SDA and recently won the overall for his age group in our 2010 Mini Downhill Series.

Stuart Wilcox Also in the Youth category and as multi talented as his brother, Stuart's best result to date was winning the British XC champs on his home track in 2009. In his own words: "On a bleak and wet Sunday morning, it was time for the National XC Championships 2009. Lining up on the start line I was pretty nervous, but as the whistle blew I just concentrated on the race. Up the first climb I was 6th, and going into the first real descent I had the lead, albeit by only a few seconds! At the bottom of the fast but technical descent, I found myself with a sizeable lead due to my better technical skills. I pushed on to the top of the hill and after a cautious descent, ended up taking a win. A minute later I was pretty stoked to see my brother cross the line to take second place."

Stuart Nicholson is our newest team member, signing up for 2011. With a background in both DH and XC and some podiums in the Sport cat last year, Stuart will focus mainly on SXC and the UK Gravity Enduro Series in 2011.

And last but not least our shop sponsor Steven Deas owner of i-Cycles of Innerleithen. Or to give him his full title King of the Mountains, after his win in the No Fuss series in 2010. With a palmares as long as both arms, Steve is also the two time winner of the Strathpuffer with Keith in the men's pairs and says this about mountain bike racing: "My idea of mountain biking is cycling in mountainous terrain, stunning views with challenging climbs and descents away from the city, traffic and other pollutions. That is how I like my races, or as near to that as possible. I have never been interested in lots of spectators or what the atmosphere is, only the challenge and racing like-minded people."
