The official line

Over the winter not alot has been happening at the track due to poor weather, however lots is happening behind the scenes. The more observant of you may have notice douglas track has been flattened and a fence errected around the work area, you may have also noticed in the press that they are looking at building a new track and have money, I can't say more than that, but you join the dots.

A facebook page was setup "as an info data base and for general chat and sharing of various photos, videos etc and banter." However the site's open nature has been abused by some people hiding behind fake names and making non productive comments that may have caused offence, this will not be tolerated and the site is under close monitoring over the next month. It was decided at the committee meeting last night that members making abusive and non productive comments should be removed but the group should remain open to the public. This is up for review at the next meeting. For those of you whose intentions are pure, feel free to have a browse, enjoy the page and become a fan.

ALL official club statements will be made via the website, e-mail and/or posted at the club.

Stay tuned for more news, COMING SOON.

Its been a quiet month

So things are still ticking along at the track, its the summer holidays and everyone should be out riding their bike.

Gate practice is on this thursday and there will be work going on the 3rd straight to tidy up the new step up

full racing is on Sunday

Good practice

So we had a nice relaxed night last night, thanks to all the dads who picked up tools and helped. After a busy day with the digger Crooky and help widened the first straight, 1st corner and then attacked the last berm!!! I honestly think we know have one of the biggest last berms in the country, good times, it should make for some good racing and even faster last straight action.There is racing this Sunday with registraton from 1030. Keep your eyes on the news to see some of 11 - 16 year olds who access The Academy, a coaching based scheme set up byThe IoM Cycling Association. With Cav doing so well in the tour the BBC are keen to cover more cycling in the news, I can't tell you times but keep your eyes peeled.

And for those of you who are thinking about buying kit, next years BMX ISLE OF MAN race top will be the Fly racing Kinetic jersey in black and white. So get yourselves some Fly racing F-16 pants in black. The top is not available yet but we'll keep you in the loop from early next year.

Practice Thursday

Time is flying by, and we had a great race last Tuesday night with 44 riders in attendance for the first ever Ramsey BMX evening race. This was a one off to take advantage of the huge numbers attending to watch the evening of events in the park. All I have heard since then is positive comments from the locals about the club.We had a nice easy practice session in the sun last Thursday and again a nice relaxed session on Sunday with everyone putting some good times down. There is practice on Thursday this week 6 - 7:30 and then racing on Sunday from 1030.You may also notice that the track keeps changing, we know that some people are not completely happy with all the changes but the increase in everyones riding ability is helped out by how challenging the track is becoming, your all great riders and getting better everyday so challenge yourself and try new things. On that note, you may notice a digger at the track on Thursday this week, if you do go down before practice, beware not to get in its way as it is there to make a couple more changes. Crooky is in charge.
