Inter-Area jersey question

foxy — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:43:47 GMT

Hi...can anyone tell me why the West Mids riders were riding in different colours yesterday. Why do the 'adult' riders get red jerseys and with the regions name on it (sponsored by buildbase), and the youth get some bland grey things with not even a mention of who they're riding for. Doesn't the region have a registered colour for all it's riders. These sorts of things aren't very expensive to sort out. For example, the yorkshire guys even had long sleeve tops for warming up in....looked very ...

Gordon and Gerry who gave their support with advice and phone numbers. Dave Millar who dropped everything at the last minute to come and ride. As well as all the other riders in the West Midlands teams and all their helpers who once again managed to create a comaraderie that is second to none. And last, but certainly ...

Round 5: Elmdon Park

I am pleased to announce that the courses at Elmdon this year will be longer and they will revert to the more usual clockwise direction - i.e. opposite to last year. We are also planning a slightly shorter version of the full course for the Youths. At present the park is still bone dry, so it should be another fast race. But the main point of this post is to tell you all that we've decided this year to place the signing-on at Solihull Moors Football Club. This is to encourage you all to ...

Inter Area Team Championships

adrian — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 09:48:49 GMT

As you might be aware - I sorted out the teams for the Inter Area's last year, and I'm quite happy to do it again this year at Leicester. However, I think it's only right that if some one else feels they would like to do it, that they should be allowed to. So, I will leave it open for a week on the forum, and if no one volunteers by next Monday, I will get in contact with Gordon and offer my services again. Remember: I've got Roger Hammond's phone number! Adrian: (An ex cyclo-cross rider)

Round 4 Sanders Park Bromsgrove

GeoffD — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 20:15:52 GMT

Hi Rode round the course on Monday.... This will, (weather permitting... for those who remember the dreadful weather last year) be a very fast course. The flat open park landscape allows us to have long fast sections, with loops to put in extra distance and let you see your closest rivals. Added to this two technical sections (cambers and banks) to balance the race back towards the more technical riders. Top that off with being able to stand by the signing on/catering tent and see ...

I completed phase 1 of the the course at our shop today. All taped off ready to go. Did a lap and it still needs some work as it is too tight in places but its there for riders to use and abuse Course length full bore for a decent rider is about 2-3 mins but I have plenty more to do, which I'll start next week, at least you got a permanent course now to use and practice your skills on. Its a good test of cornering skills! Phase 2 should double the course length and be more free-flowing Its ...
