I agree, last night was the most fun I have had on a bike for quite a while.

For those who did not go, the course was unique. Some sections on the new Bath closed circuit tarmac race track, some of the Bath BMX track (jumps and berms) and some quite challenging single track.

Well done to the organisers!

I cannot make Warmley but should be at Oldbury (I think they were saying last night that Lockleaze has now moved to the end of the series).

eskay.. did you say hello around the course?

even someone riding a fat front

Yes. That was me. There were some pussies on the jumps!

Provisional results for wednesday are out

Nice one!

I cannot make the Warmley round and with Lockleaze moving to the end of the series I won’t be riding one until Oldbury on the 17th.

Good course on Wednesday evening, a bit of everything in a 1 mile circuit. Tarmac, grass, singletrack, BMX jump and berm, tricky descent and climb in the woods.

Good for MTBers too. On my warmup lap I was wishing I had brought my 29er but it was fine on a cross bike. I lost it twice on the cut grass track, it got very slippy as the race wore on.

And I was one of the pussies on the jumps 🙂

Looking to pop over the bridge this evening. Whats the course like at Warmley ?

Did you race?

it was bone dry.. bit of a climb, rutted and some narrow singletrack.

Loved the course although turned up a bit late and only had 10minutes warm up. Managed 6th place but was holding off 6th place guy for 6 laps until he took me on the last lap and i couldn’t respond

Next race in 2 weeks

Came over in the end, I was in the dodgy looking yellow VW T4. N022 all in black with a white Helmet. I enjoyed it, good course, made a nice change to do cyclocross on a fast dry track. No idea where I finished, probably my usuall mid pack. Did notice there aren’t as many vets as in S.Wales. There was only one other V50 as far as I could see. Loads more of us old boys across the channel !! Deff try and do another one.

Couldn’t ride last night but I hope to do the last two of the series.

Missed this one due to arriving back late from london, up for the next one though

Is tomorrow cancelled?

Yes, the Lockleaze race will now be after the Oldbury one (on the 24th July).

It would have been a good night for it tomorrow!

oldbury court estate this Wednesday! (last week wasn’t on which was good for me as i was on hols)

I should be there, I’ll be the slow guy mooching round on the ritchey 😕

Hope to make it but I have a lot on tonight and have to replace the hanger on my bike and may not get a chance to do it. I should still be there with the kids though.

Tough tough race last night. So hot i suffered like a dog

Totally dropped off the pace towards the end and got overtaken by 2 guys with 2 laps to go (after building up a gap of 300 metres for 7 laps)

Although I did speak to them at the end and they said they were working together to get to me

Good to meet you eskay!

Balls, got stuck in traffic and missed the start, consoled my self at home with a couple of hours of paperwork instead

Good to meet you eskay!

And you Mr Disco!

I should be riding the last round next week (if it is on).

How did you get on last night?

Horrible /\ read up there.. I totally blew with 2 laps to go

I thought it would be tough. Did you have anyone to hand a drink to you?

Nope.. no drinks. mouth was dry as old boots

Was anyone else drinking? I’ve got no bottle cages on my bike but noticed some riders had
