Innerleithen Mini Downhill Series 2011

It’s that time of year again, when the future stars of UK downhill get the chance to develop their biking skills on the world famous trails of Innerleithen.

The first downhill races in the UK exclusively for younger riders, the 3 race series is organised by Innerleithen MTB Racing, the team who brought the first iXS European Cup to Britain in 2010.

Tracks are challenging but fun !  The young riders have the tracks to themselves and can do as many runs as they want, every run’s a good ‘un.  The aim of the series is to introduce young riders to the sport in a relaxed and enjoyable way, in a safe environment.

The day kicks off at 09.30 for registration, there is practice for an hour from 11.00, race runs are from 12.00 – 16.00 with podiums at 16.45.  The day is relaxed with plenty of time to stop for lunch from the catering van and as many runs as you can fit in !
