Track Update Program 2019

by Jonathan Doran • 19 September 2019
As part of Dragon Riders BMX development plan our goal each year is to re-design and re-develop part of our BMX race track here at Marsh Tracks in Rhyl. This year it is the turn of the 4th straight. At the start of September 2019 we handed the keys over to JB Extreme Landscapes to completely re-design our last straight into a rhythm section and resurface our first straight. The transformation is fantastic and completes the next stage of our program of improvements. That's over £10,000 invested by the club and by sport wales into the BMX facility at Marsh Tracks continuing our vision of BMX racing in North Wales. A huge thank you to Sport Wales for funding 80% of the works this year with the remaining 20% coming from Dragon Riders BMX. Next year we hope to redesign the 3rd straight into a technical straight. Watch this space!
