….and I knew I'd miss someone..... Vince - I know you'll be there anyway but I have you down for marshal duty in the afternoon
-
Thanks everybody. We now have enough people and I have started a new post with more details on arrival times and roles. All you need to do now is enter the races!
-
We have had a strong response to this and we should now have enough people to run the race. More volunteers are always welcome as it will help to shorten people's shifts so please do volunteer if you can. I will schedule the marshalling duties arou…

Done

I will V but if you have enough V’s I will R but with low expectations Pete.

I got a ballot place. 3rd time I've got a place out of 5 applications. Maybe I should take up the Lottery too! I've completed it 3 times with my best time at 5h 11m so a 4:59 will be my target. I'm more geared to the CX races of 45 mins so will …

I've got one of those too and have been using it for MSG. It does the job just fine. It's a popular choice on the start line. If the 15 plus year old would like to try it out let me know you can choose 27.5 or 29 wheels. 27.5 is supposed to be …

Sam and I are in. I shall probably select Schwalbe CX Pro's for this event.

The one on 4th Nov has been added into the schedule. It's at Whipsnade Zoo which sounds much more fun than Dunstable!
-
Ah I see. Sue - If you could be there for 8.30 that would be great. Ideally it would be good if you could do the whole day but we can work around if not. I'll be there from 7.30 and should be around about the start area for 8.30 - just come and fi…

Who is Ashwell_Cycling?

The course will be open for practise from 9am to 10am on Sunday and will there will also be time for practise laps between races.
-
Thanks Martin, Jenny and Dave. I think we probably have enough people for set up on Saturday but I'll post again if not. Martin - if you could get to the venue for around 8.15 I'll ask you to help marshal the car park just to make sure that people …

As we're now a week and a bit from the race, here's a summary of volunteers and roles. If you're acting as a marshal/ judge/ sign-on, then it would be good to be on site for 8.15/ 8.30 (I know a couple of people are doing afternoon slots). We still…
-
After 12 hours we now have 111 entrants in total - not bad at all. Still some places left in the V50's but get in quick if you're in this category.
-
Entries for the CCA Cyclocross race open 7am Monday. If you're entering the V50 category, sign up quick as this race often sells out fast. On line entry is via British Cycling and will close a week before the race - though entry on the day will stil…

Iain - the arm warmers are Sam's I think. No doubt see you at one of the weekend races!
-
Yes. Sam and I will be there
-
Anyone at the grasstrack this evening? Sam and I plan to be there
-
I can help too. Any role except cakes!
-
Shelton has keys for the container so we should be OK tonight. It's the last MTB training session for a while so it would be a good idea if one of us regulars had a set of keys cut Pete
-
I can get hold of signage cheaply through my work connections. I suggest that if anyone needs signage, let me know the details and I'll get artwork and quotes for a bulk order to send to Jess for approval. We need directional signage for cross and a…

Apologies for lack of communication on my part - we were away for Easter in Vietnam (amazing place but I've been ignoring that there internet). I have pm'd you all with payment/ collection details. (Mark - have emailed you). I've got most people to…
-
Hopefully Sam and I will be there tomorrow (in a change of plan). I have a Garmin if you'd like to email me the route Mark.
-
Makes sense Jackie. -11 might be too much even for my thickest socks.
-
Yes it does seem a bit early for the Summer season. It was gert cold today with that wind but you soon get warm once you've ridden up the escarpment a couple of times. The down hill parts of the course seems fast and flowing with a good few bermy c…
-
Good Idea but we can't make it Dave - we're at Hadleigh Park for some MTB training tomorrow and back there again Sunday for the first of the MSG races
-
My 'private jet' was a £30 Michael O'Leary special to Eindhoven. The flight and train trip was very straightforward and stress free but because we left on Saturday morning it did mean we missed the 1st race. Really good to see these elite athletes…

Sam and I will be there on Sunday
