DavieB Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Re. national trophy do you not need a full BC licence to take part and will probably get hassled for wearing a skin suit that should not be allowed in the sake of common decency is a couple of years out of date. It's bad enough having to pay anything to BC so unless you can race on provisional licence its a no go for me. My original reason for not entering was the course is a brute and I would likely be lapped by the end of (my) 2nd lap given that more elite racers will be there but saw on FB that they are looking for any old dross to make up the numbers.

2023 Subscriptions PaulL Posted October 7, 2018 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 A great day out in Callendar, counted 6 wheelers and numerous Jets(Jet Jamie took 2nd place??) very techincal course with lots of mud and off camber. Big Kudos to John for his first cross race on the wrong tyres/shoes and never having watched a cross race... true wheelers preparation Cedric also made a return to cross and started of really strong in the top 10 in the first lap but as the course degraded his tyres grip let him down and he struggled to stay upright at his pace, a bike change at the last few laps saw him return to form and take back a stack of places, I predict great things from Zed! Good to see Sam riding the Seniors as well. In the V40 Davie B looked real good and never saw him all race, Dave W passed me a few laps in and never saw him again as I suffered from Berlin Belly(a real disease).... worst result for me since I started cross but had a blast and managed to stay mostly upright. I might have to start riding my bike in between races Top day with a lot of laughs DavidC, Cedric, EricL and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Aye a blast.... If Cedric had been riding decent tyres he would have had a real good result, absolutely no fear on the drop-offs even with poor tyres. Cedric 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted October 9, 2018 Committee Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 well done guys, sorry I could not join you due to reasons. Rest of season also looks poor for me cos I've done less riding than usual and have a poor work schedule. May join later (when the weather is proper nasty).

Committee Alan McLean Posted October 11, 2018 Committee Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Well done John. You may want to persuade CFO to re-allocate capital funds from non-essential areas such as family food, heating bills and fixing brakes on the car.

Members John C Posted October 14, 2018 Members Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Already introduced austerity cuts to pay for this years summer bike. Suggestion of quantative easing by redirecting pension pot funds for a CX is meeting some resistance from the household monetary coniitee.
