Innerleithen SDA Round 5
Here we are, the last race of the year for many including ourselves, fasten your helmets!
The track used was all of 'The Gold Run' as far as I could tell. One of the best ways to pick your way down the hill for its fast technical tight sections coupled with some of the big baddest roots in town and a hint of madness thrown in thanks to alot of lines to choose from. Quite flat till you reach the final section (also used in the National Champs in July) which is just perfectly steep and loose with plenty of corners to try and rail round if you can stay on.
Innerleithen is a loved place amongst all riders and is always a great venue to end the year on. Come race time it was business as usual and heres how the final play of the dice went for the Ae Bike Shop and Solway Insulation Services team.
Frazer McCubbing in Juvenile 9/21 3.51.304
Callum McCubbing in Junior 17/52 3.21.397
Lewis Cochran in Senior 33/97 3.28.567
Myself, Ryan Chambers in Senior 8/97 3.14.27
SDA OVERALL SERIES RESULT
Callum McCubbing in Junior 10/60
Lewis Cochran in Senior 28/63 (3 out of 4 races)
Myself, Ryan Chambers in Senior 4/63
I think for all of us the best ride of the day was from Frazer, 12 years old, at his second ever race showed exceptional pace, a great race attitude and a lot of promise for whats to come.
The line has been crossed for the final time this year. Everyone of us taking away something from it. Maybe what we need to improve on or were we want to be this time next year. NO matter what has happened throughout the year at the races whether crashes have happened, the timing has went down or any other technical difficulties, at the end of the day thats racing and the one thing you have to believe even if you don't want to, the clock never lies.
Thank you to everyone who has helped us out this year and shown there support especially our sponsors; The Ae Bike Shop and Cafe for keeping the bikes in tip top condition and putting up with the broken parts; Solway Insulation Services for transport, support and food at the races; and Uplift Scotland for the free uplifts so we could improve our training tenfold! oh and congratulations to Tally and Wendy on their baby girl. There is no doubt in my mind we would have achieved what we have without your help!
Thank you to all the race organisers and spectators who turn up to cheer, makes it all the more worth while.
I don't know when the next post shall be but until then all the best and keep it lit ya fairies!

Kill The BILL-Fort William duuuuuuuuuuuh!
On the first weekend of September the Ae Massive rocked up to the lovely sunshine of Fort Bill. Did i say sunshine sorry i meant torrential rain! This was just a one off event not involving any series so was a good way to have a relax before the last SDA which is the 19th/20th September at Innerleithen. It's always a good one with a big turn out so come watch the amateurs give it their all in the quest to define ourselves from the others.
Back to the Bill. I'm sure by now you are More than fed up of me writing a report on Fort Bill so me being the nice guy I am found a video for you.

And if you open your peepers real wide round the 4 minute mark you will see Cub making his way down the wood sections and MoffatSubZero I now have proof! thats right PROOF! I pedal 4.30 blink and you will miss it! Hope everyone takes my advice and come and watch the last SDA even if just on the Sunday when everyone on it!
Results for all those interested - Cub In Junior - 11/34 05.55.2
Myself In Senior 9/72 05.49.5
Lewis In Senior 32/72 06.19.7

Downhill World Championship - Canberra
To me there is only one thing to say about this. Long Live Steve Peat! Finally after over 16years of trying and being so close, unlucky, whatever the case he finally done it. Your 2009 UCI Elite Male Downhill World Champion is STEVE PEAT aka Sheffield STEEL!

Killin SDA Round 4 - Cancelled
Sadly due to a number of factors the fourth round of Scotlands Downhill Series has been cancelled. It was the right call to make and not as harsh as some have been saying as they did allow practice to go ahead on the Saturday.
The track would've been a sub 2 minute. Placed on a field with a few big boulders and natural obstacles taped in to spice it up it was looking like a fun track overall although some bits showed signs of being rushed. Time is always ticking however and for the time they spent on creating the course it was built to the best it could've been.
So all thats left now is the SDA round 5 at Innerleithen which is sure to be a good un. On another not the team will be heading up to Fort William for Borderline Events 'Kill the Bill'. Same format as an SDA but its just a one off so no pressure. A great place to see what downhill is all about and to spectate so get yourself up for a weekend away and if you see us gives a shout!!

Caersws NPS Round 4
So ends the 3 weeks off of racing for myself and its back to Wales for round 4 of the NPS at Caersws. The hill seems small to look at but they make very good use of it. There’s a handful of ways from top to bottom but with half the hill having been harvested, a lot of the tracks lay in ruin. A short uplift to the top of the hill around 5-10 minutes long thanks to tractor and trailer was more than efficient all weekend. The weather was a mix up all weekend but didn’t provide any major problems apart from the field at the bottom that was like black ice in the wet!
The track was a short one with the big guns going sub 1.45 easy. From the start you pedal off the line and that’s about as much as you will for the whole track. Hit the first jump or go around the side-equally as fast thanks to the wind-down into a left catch berm, down again into a left catch, stick it high through the stumps then any line you please, wild as my hair, till the 180 corner, tight as Cubs arse (if possible! only dogs hear the squeak when this guy walks). Try and keep it high till you come to a short steep chute into a left, right.
After this you twisted your way through trees, treated to a few little jumps, berms and roots before you hit a right hander and down a chute to the final stretch before the finish field. Jump after jump, drop down to the left, right berm, jump, drop left, right berm the speed here was crazy but fun as hell to take you down to the finish. One big tabletop, one big double and one big step down to bring you into the field loose as Lewis’ boxers, you just couldn’t keep them up I mean the bike. Two big kickers to sprint to finish.
It was just myself representing the Ae Bike Shop/Solway Insulation Services team and here’s how I got on.
Myself in senior 2.05.211 36/38
Yip, I crashed. On such a short track it was do or die and I bit the bullet! Anyways, can’t wait for next weekend, brand new track for everyone so should be wide open!
