Alpine winter downhill series returns to Innerleithen

Following last year's success, The Alpine Bikes Winter Downhill Series is returning to Innerleithen for 2009 for two weekends of action. The first round will happen on January 31 to February 1, and round two is scheduled for February 28 to March 1.

"I am looking forward to two great weekends of racing set on the famous Innerleithen downhill tracks," said Bryan Shedden of the only winter races scheduled for Scotland.

Each weekend will feature a full day of practice on Saturday, more practice Sunday morning and a single race run on Sunday afternoon.
