    Is there anyone who can organise a BBQ for this? I can give you some cash for food and drinks etc and im sure we can rustle up a bbq or two.
    I will be helping with kids racing and riding myself hopefully.
    Let me know if you can help. Not critical but would be nice.

    Tim,

    Emma and me would be prepared to help out with the BBQ, if we could talk about what is needed to make it happen.

    I can't make it now Tim unfortunately going to have to work on Saturday
  • tducketttduckett
    Weather now saying the overnight rain will have stopped by midday. Might not be too bad after all, if a little slip slidey!
  • James DJames D
    Entry on the line for me. Approved by Mr P
  • Neil MNeil M
    Not sure ill make it unfortunately, few things I need to do.
    If I get everything done ill pop over and cheer Ashwell on.
    I'm not sure it would have been good for me this time anyway, never ridden on the grass and only a fixed wheel the once :-/ could have been messy haha

    grass track: race for about 5km, lose the ability to walk for at least a day.

    Great day's racing on the grass track yesterday - thanks to everyone that helped organise it and feed everyone - it made for a great end to the grass track season.
    Some fantastic performances all round despite the skiddy conditions (see jamie's photos). Good also to see some hard-core road racers giving it ago (Will) -
    i don't think I've ever seen you go round a corner so slowly, Will ;-)

    thanks again

    Yes, a great days racing. Lots more people than we anticipated and we all just about stayed dry. It was a bit scary and slippy to start with but dried out ok.

    Many thanks to all the usual helpers, organisers, caterers, helpers, timers etc

    Good to see Will having his first go and some great riding from all our riders especially Dan, well done.

    Ill put a full result up when i get it from Max.

    it was a great day! shame i couldn't stick around for the 5K race.

    It's not a shame, at all. I would have been useless in it, just like the other races! Certainly an experience though, and very good training. Made this morning's 70 mile 234 in Roxwell seem a doddle (ish).
  • Jon.cJon.c
    report? how did you do?
  • tducketttduckett
    Thanks for all the photos Hannah, really good pics. You must be a very good photographer you made it look like i was going fast!
  • Hannah CHannah C
    Ha! Thanks, you did really well!
