Tigers Sessions- 17th June & 24th June 2013
For the next two weeks we will be moving to a new area at Foggieton. This is just “down the hill” from Counteswells.
On the 17th there will be a coaching session and on the 24th there will be some fun events to allow Tigers to put the skills they have been developing into practice over a range of mini-events.
Plans for the last session of the term on 1st July are still being developed.

Haddo House event – 13 April 2013
Happy bikers at Haddo House
On Saturday a number of past, present and hopefully some future Tigers were in action at the Haddo House mountain bike races. This was a fun event organised by Aberdeenshire Active Schools in conjunction with Ythan CC. There were two races with the younger ones doing one lap around the duck pond and the older ones having to do two laps! There was plenty of fun had by all with a few spills and the weather was just right for being out on bikes. Everyone who started the races got a commemorative medal and a water bottle, supported by BusyOutdoors.com. Many thanks to Peter at ACC, Colin at YCC and all their helpers for a great day out.
Cycle Race, Haddo House now rearranged – 13th April
Details of this have been added onto the Upcoming Events tab.
Ellon Youth Criterium – Sunday 26 Aug 2012
Various Tiger members took to the streets of Ellon towards the end of August for a closed roads circuit race.
I see from the results that Alexander & Daniel raced in the U10 and Euan and Harry competed in the U12
Congrats to all of you!
Tigers Sessions: 1st October and 8th October 2012
It is now too dark to ride at Hazlehead so for the final 2 Mondays we will be out at the Kingswells Park & Ride. We will be looking at skills & techniques for riding on roads and having some fun races.
This is hard, paved surface and it may be a bit chilly so I’d suggest you have long sleeves, long legs (ie kness covered) and gloves for protection from both the weather and if you fall off.
Anyone who is bringing a road bike please fit flat pedals; cleats/ clip-ins would cause delays as there are likely to be periods of stop-start cycling.
For those who have not been to Kingswells we meet in the lower car park away from the main exit, ie the area closest to the Westhill road and the Kingswells by-pass.
Tigers Sessions: 17 & 24 September 2012
On 17th we will be at Hazlehead Woods as in recent weeks; same time (1800 for 1815 start)
The following week (24th) is the local holiday weekend so there will be NO SESSION
17th YES
24th NO
