Jane

Nice pic, Tim! If you make the sun shine, I'll be there

tduckett

Er, im not sure my guaranteed sunshine will quite pan out but we are planning on carrying on if its raining.

If its really awful and we decide to cancel i will post here.

The forecast is improving by the hour. Looking quite sunny with maybe the occasional shower.

tduckett

See, i told you. Guaranteed sunshine....ish!

sorry to be missing the club championships at the grass track. Have a great time everyone. Here's hoping for the fine weather you need.

Jane

Positive attitude is always good, but err ... which forecast are you looking at exactly?

geoffg

Even if it pours down, as long as you get an hours relief before the event the track will be fine. That ground drains really fast. That's why I put the track where it is Jane. Even if the bottom of the field is a guagmire the track will work.

Good weather guaranteed he said...

FField

Bring a picnic he said...

tduckett

Ah,..er...ok that didnt quite go to plan. Was a little on the damp side.

The good news is that we will try again for Thursday 3rd. ...good weather guaranteed....*



*unless its raining.

FField

Hmm... Lets hope it's not!

geoffg

Think that is a first Tim. We have never had to cancel a track event before. Must have been a real downpour. Sorry for everyone and hope it goes well on Thursday. good racing everyone.

Tim - the Ashwell youngsters (years 5 & 6) will be away this week on a school trip and others are heading up to Yorkshire/County Durham for the TDF so may it be better to hold the event the next week? It gives more opportunity for communicating with parents/kids and more opportunity for tying up with a BBQ etc.

tduckett

I am aware of that but unfortunately this Thursday is the only one before the summer hols that Mark, Max and myself can do.

skelders

I have my Company half year meeting :-(

I just wont be able to get back in time

Cycling Weakly

That's more like it.

Jane

Nice!

LukeDanckert

What time? If we want to race can we still borrow a bike?

tduckett

The fixed wheel racing starts at 6.30, but will probably be skewed towards the younger ones to start with.

Yes, bikes can be borrowed.

skelders

all change! I will get there, just not for 6:30. hopefully 7:30

:-|

Jane

Away on business, so can't joint you this time
(Although just 1 more 'crisis' at Hd Office could mean I'm back in Cambridge tomorrow. So there's a slim chance I might get to Small Gains after all. Every cloud ... )

tduckett

Jane, hope you get your crisis. Skelders, great, doubt we'll do much adults stuff before 7.30.

skelders

Oh, cool. Hoping to be back in Hitchin for 18:50 :-)

Stef

That was more like it! Glorious sunshine.
Thanks to all who organised and ran the event, and well done all who raced.
I wimped out and was pleased I did when I saw some of the faces during the senior devil.
Alex really enjoyed the freewheel racing.

Stuart F

As usual great atmosphere. great to see so many riders at short notice. Thanks to those that organised

skelders

Ditto above comments!! Thanks to Tim, Max, Mark & Mark!

It's all about next year ;-)

Martin L

Well done to all the organisers - and we had great weather. It was good to see you Skelders! Cheers.

JT

A great evening enjoyed by all the family. I even managed a few laps myself. Many thanks to all the organisers. Vince disappointed you wimped out of the last race.

Thanks everyone for coming it was a great, well supported evening. In all the chaos i failed to get any good snaps, has anyone got some they could post?

Vam Polecat

Lovely evening out, apart from the pain of course, thanks to all who took part and specially those who helped organise. Special thanks to Tim for the recovery beverage!
