PUMP TRACK PARTY! What? A portable pump track will be at school on Thursday 7th June as part of the Olympic event. If you don’t have a chance to have a go during the day, come along after school. It will be staying after school 4pm to 8pm for members of the community to come and have a go on. Bring your friends, family, relatives – the more the merrier! No need to bring anything at all – bikes, helmets and tuition will all be provided. Belhaven bikes will be there with a selection of bikes to try out. Money is being raised to have a permanent all-weather track built in Lochend Woods. An amazing local resource!

Dunbar Grammar School will be holding a Pump Track event on Thursday 7th June to help raise money with Dunbar Cycling Group and Dunbar Community Woodland Group for a permanent bike track to be built in the local Woods at Lochend. The event will be after school on the playing field, 4pm until 8pm, and anybody is welcome to come along and have a go! A pump track is a bit like a small BMX track, with bermed corners and small jumps that a bike can be 'pumped' around. The intention is to build up speed without pedalling - using your body to push and pull the bike over the jumps and round the corners. It is a great workout, brilliant fun and really develops your bicycle skills. If you are curious – YouTube 'pump track' to get a better idea. If you fancy a go, there is no need to bring any equipment. Bicycles, helmets and tuition will all be provided at the event. Belhaven Bikes will also be on hand with a selection of bikes to try. There is also no charge, though donations will be welcome to help raise money for the track at Lochend Woods.
