Didn't book Sundays road race and now it's full 😥 muppet.

Possibly might maybe drive down for the Black Park XC instead. Anyone know if over 50 is classed as grand vet in xc?

Anyone else doing owt?

Yes it is. I'm doing the Black Park race. Should be a laugh.

Not 100% certain I'll be there, be cool to hook up though.

Yep, 50+ is GV.

Yep just seen my next RR is a week away and not two, looks like I need to be there.
I really need to erm what that word? ….organise myself 😳

yep ill be at black park

As posted elsewhere: Road crit (well, circuit) at Salt Ayre, Lancaster. Run under TLI rules. Last time we had Matt Cranshaw of Rapha Condor dishing it out 🙂

Anyone else deciding to catch a cold this weekend for their first race of the year 😐

Well I would say that I'll be in black/yellow Beyond Mountain Bikes kit, but so will half the field! I'll be on my eBay carbon hardtail, black helmet, green Radar glasses. In the Expert race, so yeah say hello if you come down!

Blue Nalini 3/4s and top, silver Atmos.
Long haired old Paddy in the G/vets.

'Entries closed' to the Black Park event.
No road race now no xc either.

Anyone know of anything I can race that's not a million miles from Leighton Buzzard?
With EOL

You can EOL for Black Park.

Ah right, that's just on line then? I thought that meant they had a full field.
Thanks.

Nope, definitely not.

Good stuff, the only other option was the Downhill at Aston Hill 😯

going to do the SS cat at black park tomorrow!

Carl, come for a road ride with us, we can race for the village signs if you want your racing fix 🙂

Covering my options, sat here all paracetamol'd up.
MTB ready and kit hanging up. But I've got the crosser and roadie ready just in case.

Did no fuss wee tri today.

Soulrider from here took the win on the run …. Had an abismal run !

The missus won womans senior on her very light new bike . 2nd female overall and 15th over all outa 72

Double post

Nice plan, too many times I've not ridden due to change of plans and bike 'not ready'.

Jase
What are your plans?
I've got a stinking cold, but I think I feel alright 😕
If I can get a nights sleep I'll be racing, if not I might see you.

It's just gone 4am and I've decided not to race or even ride later today!
Sat here in my wolly hat and fleece fighting off this man flu.
Hope to be better for my road race at Cranfield next Sunday.
Catch you later Jase.

Did a loop out to Berkhamstead.

We were all pretty knackered on the way back but all good fun.

Well how did you all do?

I.ve been in bed all day having a mamoth bike mag reading session. All that winter training, the reliability trials all for a nice lay in.

A lowly 9th in Expert. Some seriously quick boys showed up, most notably Jody Crawforth! I was consistently slow on my 8 laps, which I guess is par for the course having not done any speed work at all!

It was good fun though, excellent course, a few very narrow gaps that made me wish I'd cut more of my handlebars! Lovely day for it too, really nice and mild.

Didn't see Ti29er, dunno if he bailed too!

Is this a series? because it sounds like my type of circuit.
And it would break up the weekly Crits nicely
