CX is a great leveler, yip speed helps but bike handling can make a huge difference, so anyone up for a short coaching session? Nothing intense, 30 to 45 mins looking at some key skills that can make a great difference. Anyone up for it? Alan

Having watched the way MVDP powers thru events it looks great fun. Only problem is trying to find a time to get out and play! If others are interested and a time can be sorted, I'll see if I can juggle things to make it

Would this Thursday evening (19th) be ok for everyone? Its getting dusky after 7 and dark by 8, maybe meet 6 or 6.30? Thoughts on times location? Im thinking back of 6 at either car park at inshes park or the turning circle at Merkinch? I reckon approx. 30 to 40 mins looking at a few skills; Race start dismount/ remount bike lift cornering Next day im free is Saturday the 21st could do this at the black isle show ground or at merkinch Next day could be 29th sept at Merkinch

Is the turning circle at Merkinch just where the path comes out from the canal? (From memory there is a wall on a building painted with a dolphin etc) Gem

My understanding is that turning circle is the one right at the end, past the old south kessock ferry slipway. https://maps.app.goo.gl/c1KBe8fz5MdnaZiv5 Alastair
