If you weren't there, you missed it. And you may not have a sore throat from all the cheering.

Dalby Forest kicked off the 2010 UCI mountain bike XC world cup and saw wins for Nino Schurter in the elite mens race and Irena Kalentieva in the elite womens. Annie Last raced to a great 3rd place in the under 23 womens race and Steven James showed he's one to watch for the future with 3rd in the junior mens race.

An awesome weekend.

Anyone heading to Fort William for the world cup downhill on 5th and 6th of June to watch Steve Peat racing in his rainbow stripes? You know you want to.

Now that our race team is up and running, we're turning our collective little minds to a club for all you folks who don't want to strap a number onto your bikes and just ride for fun.

Would you want to join a club?
Are you looking for some early morning rides to fit in around family/work commitments?
Would you be interested in some road or off road rides?

We'd love to know what you'd like to join in on, so let us know and we'll see what we can sort out for you.

Please feel free to call into the shop, give us a ring or send an email to jon@bicyclesmithy.co.uk via the contact page.

You missed a cracker. Monday night brought with it clear skies, dusty trails, awesome singletrack, great views and some good testing ups and downs. As if that wasn't enough, we were even treated to a whole load of copulating frogs to giggle at.*

Back on home turf next week, 7pm at the shop as usual.

*The greenish-kermit-type of frogs, we're not just being rude about the Mavic boys.
