Looks like I might join your mate and ride my Solaris.
Rode the day/night and loved it, can’t do the summer one so this looks to be the next best thing.
Now where’s the best place to look for a good, cheap full face for a huge head? 😆

Yeah, birthday treat to fall gracefully down a hill.

I quite fancy it – can I get away with a Bell Super 2R or do I need a “proper” full face?

Need to be a one piece FF

Game on, I’m in! Gonna fail miserably, but hey its the UK champs 🙂

It might just be a problem with the way the event is set up online. I’ve sent an email to BC anyway. Stick me in with the fellas, I’ll race anyone 😆

Agree I can see how you can have a age cat for men and women separate but have a men’s HT cat and NO women’s HT cat sounds odd. Let me know what the email says because another lady just asked the same question.

I’m in. Good luck, ladies!

What time’s practice on the Saturday, Scott?

9 till 4 ish and it’s £5 on the day.

BTW just to let you guys know I am organising the Champs on the back of the Gravity project race but I/the champs don’t take any money out. Just doing it you encourage others to race in Hardtail and have as much fun racing as I do!!

Well, it looks like it’s working so far! 2nd ever race, 1st was SS XC. Need a FF helmet now. And some practice. Cheers, Scott.

Okey dokey, I haven’t had an email back yet but it’s only been a few hours since they’d have read it so they won’t have had time to flap about and discuss it in committee yet 😆

Anyhoo, it looks like I can just enter the women’s category and I’ll ride it on my HT 😀

edit- done! 😀

I tell you what if we can get 3 women to enter I will speak to the sponsor’s and see if we can get prize fastest women on HT!
Same goes for Fatbikes if there are 3!!

What about a rigid 26+ front category? anybody?

What about a rigid 26+ front category? anybody? that’s a fatbike just a rubbish one 😉

Ha!

What’s the format? Best of 2 runs? Or best of 1?

2 runs, sometime GP do 3 runs but the numbers and track length at qecp have meant it has always been 2 runs.
Here are the results from last years race to give you an idea of track times: https://www.rootsandrain.com/race2475/2014-jun-1-gp-honey-4-queen-elizabeth-country-park/
