I guess this was never going to be easy! 28th Jan not good for me.
-
My vote is for the 26th Nov at Welwyn. there are no Eastern league events that weekend. Pete
-
Vincent, it would good if you could marshal during the Youth race please. we could also do with another volunteer to help marshal in the afternoon for the Vet 40 race at 1.30
-
Stuart I did mean 9 as I want people briefed and in place for the practice period but I can work with you to let you get your sighting laps in. Pete
-
Following various comments there are some amendments to the marshal plan: We now have sufficient marshals for the race but no reserves so if anyone else is available let me know. I will be at HQ and will have a radio on the day. All time below are…
-
We will have 8 marshal points on the day. The plan allows those that want to race or watch to do so and nobody marshals all day. Can the following people be available from 9.00: Tim D Dan H Travis P Jenny Andrew R Dave H (I have the car park in …

I went from one extreme to another. when I first rode it in practise it left me feeling scared but once I'd practised it a few times and got into the race, I enjoyed it and it felt good to be pushed a bit technically. Steep hills and fast descents s…

...and Jackie Field won the Womens Vet race. oops!
-
Hi Mark Sam and I would like to attend please Pete
-
Yes a great day. I completely agree an earlier start is a good idea. My 8.00 am start may have been more civilised but it meant I was caught up with less experienced riders not appreciating the need to stay left/ don't block the road/ look behind b…
-
Dave - I can help too. Morning and lunch time preferred. Pete
-
Sam and I will be there though I may have to take it easy as I have a bit of neck issue. That's my excuse for not being able to keep up out the way!
-
Yes we found our way OK. It was good to make the turn and get the wind behind us. 40 miles all told (50 for Sam and I with the home run tacked on).
-
Sam and I will be there
-
Top tip. Don't try and ride two races in one day. It makes your legs ache and makes you very tired the next day!
-
Many thanks to my impromptu pit crew Tim and Noah for repairing my puncture in record time and getting me back into the race super efficiently. Pesky tree roots!
Well done to Harley, Jackie an Louis. -
I don't really know either. I know I set out in a middle gear. my legs seem to do acceleration but won't do power. all good fun!
Oh and I had a fleece under my tee shirt too and I can't say I had any issue with being hot. -
Thanks Richard. It was a brief moment of glory and it, along with 23 other riders, quickly passed!
Maybe I should try pacing myself next time. -
I think no showers too but looking at the forecast simply standing in the car park for 5 mins after the race should see you nicely washed down!
-
So am I. I'm not sure how it happened either. On the up side I didn't get held up at the bottleneck but while my progress over the first 500m may have been swift, it all fell away over the next 500m so I went from 20th to 3rd and back to 20th all i…
-
I'm not sure you want to copy me Richard - I spend the first 1/2 lap overtaking people and the rest of the race being overtaken by the same people. I think there are a lot of strong riders in the v40 class this year and I'm (sort of) glad I've grown…

Tim
when I enquired yesterday LVVP said that the club session we all attended on Sunday did not count to stage 1 accreditation and we would have to start at stage 1. I said that Sam had attended a taster and a cluster session previously… -
Thanks Andrew for organising this. It was great fun and such a cool place to ride a bike.
-
We could still do with a couple more volunteers to be marshals on this race. We are suggesting marshals cover either the morning or afternoon races (10.00-12.45 or 1.30-3.00). I have sent emails to those people who have already volunteered but if t…
-
I think I'll go by train too and hire bikes when we get there.
Do we need to book bikes/ pay in advance or sort it all out when we get there?
Pete -
It was a spectacular if ill-advised overtaking manoeuvre and right in front of the CCA camp too. Nobody laughed honestly! Hope you're feeling OK Iain
-
Hi Andrew
Thanks for that. Sam will be pleased.
Peter -
Hi Andrew
I have seen this too late but added Sam Daniels to the list in case anyone else drops out.
Pete -
Mark
Good plan. See you at 8.15 Sunday.
Peter -
I am happy to help organise the CCA race - let me know what you need nearer the time.
I have entered the Tour of the Cornfields too. Can't let you get away with all the extra training!
