MTB

Hey Team,
After last weekend I felt that there was a lot of feedback regarding MTB and wanting more confidence etc. So on Saturday this weekend I thought it would be nice to head out to Glenbervie for a ride and some basic bike mechanics. I am thinking at this stage that we would meet at 8am and go for a couple of hours. Meet at the ropes course car park. I would reccomend this for anyone wanting to build confidence. Please send me a text if you are keen. You will need to source your own bike as I will be riding mine.

Multi Sport Race

Hey Gals and Guys,
So this Saturday we will be running the multi sport race. I imagine that it would be a good idea to be out there around 7-7.15 as race briefing is at 7.45am. I will post the team lists on Thursday night. Please make sure that you organise a parent to be your support crew and that all your gear is sorted. If you need to borrow a pack or anything please come and see me before Friday. We will have some water out there but make sure you fill your bottle before you come out. This race is for anyone from year 10-13.

Compulsory individual gear:  
 A well serviced mountain bike & helmet, sturdy cross trainers/shoes, a towel & togs, a race pack with enough snacks for the morning, a thermal top & bottoms, fleece jumper, a sunhat, a woollen hat & gloves, plenty of fluid, a torch and a whistle.  Oooh yes, of course a strong set of lungs!              
All teams will be given a first aid kit at the race briefing and maps.

Lactic Turkey Results

Well we drove into the eye of the storm and came out on top. Well done to all the teams who took part in another fantastic Lactic Turkey event. WARTS had a blast. Check out the results at the link below, you will also notice that the old WARTS didn't do to badly either.

ARC Preparation

Just a reminder that you need to have sorted out all your food for two nights, and your race food. Also make sure that you have sorted who is bringing a tent. And check the gear list so that if you need something then you can let me know.
