That sounds like praise for the public sector. Has someone hacked your account? 😉
Seriously they do a fantastic job up there, no interference with the riders, plenty of good information signs, plenty of maps of the site, even more trails than earlier this year, and a lot more planned, oh how i wished i lived in Lancashire.

allow, yes
make happen, no.
It's a team of volunteers who do it all themselves with the generous support of people giving up their Sunday morning to marshal/provide first aid cover etc. (The aim is to provide quality racing at low cost with great sponsorship (thanks sponsors)raising money for local good causes.)
Lancs CC support is important as an enabler but isn't what makes the events happen. Trail investment comes from the Aggregates levy which a key person at Lancs CC has managed to unlock, some of the stuff however has been there for years.
See you next year for the 2011 races series
I meant no offense to all the volunteers, you make a great race support team,and i know you make it happen, as i was there to experience it.
See you there in 2011,
no offense, just a factual correction
(next thing if uncorrected is that we are getting chopped in the cuts (which we are not))
it's good honest grass roots racing, not perfect but with a sense of humour still good enough for anyone in a great (if difficult to use) venue
want to set up you own race series elsewhere? we are more than happy to help where we can. info@brownbacksracing.co.uk
