Junior Parkrun on the circuit

At the weekend the usual junior parkrun paths were still icy. They managed to use the circuit as a standby. Delighted the park can help out.

Roller Skating Dragons - So cool

Jurassic Bike Park

On Saturday 9th Nov 2024 the Ythan CC youth squad, Ythan QL, completed a sponsored cycle at the wheel park. They cycled round and round the circuit for an hour to see how many laps they could do. In total they cycled an amazing 1088 laps of the circuit. T-rex managed one lap :-).

The money raised was to help raise funds for phase 2 of the wheel park development. Well done everyone 

Under the lights 

Although the wheelpark doesn't have any full time lights, Ythan Cycle Club have procured a set of temporary lights, with the help of Hope Technologies (Hope Tech - Made in Barnoldswick, England0  for nighttime training sessions. These were in use on 30 October at a cycle cross training session 

Fireworks and spooks

On Saturday evening the Ellon Round Table put on a magnificent firework display using the wheel park as their base.  On Sunday morning as the funfair was being dismantled, Gordon Park junior parkrun used the circuit as part of their circuit for the running youths. There were skeletons, zombies and monsters running wild in Gordon Park - great fun.
