Re: BEACON TO HOST CROSS EVENT 2021/2 SEASON
I’m so excited by this and I’d urge absolutely everyone to help out if at all possible. The atmosphere at the Cross races is super friendly and the nature of the courses usually means it’s great for the spectators as well as the riders. Can’t wait, fingers crossed

Re: The great reunion
Oscar, that’s such a wonderful thing to have done. The Beacon, I’m sure, means and has meant a great deal to many people since those founder members kicked it all off.
Great stuff.

High everyone. It's about time I started to get my cyclocross legs out the cupboard so wondered if anyone would like to join me. It would be good to make the most of the light evenings and Highbury Park in Kingsheath , as I've mentioned before, is a great place to train. I have a loop which hopefull...

Join us again tomorrow evening for some more cyclocross capers. 7pm at Lightwoods Park, Bearwood. You'll need a cross bike or mtb as well as your lights and warm clobber. It's a light hearted session which is as tough or easy as you want it to be. It's circuit based so no worry that anyone will be d...

We were all extremely venerable (or was it vulnerable?) at last night's inaugural Beacon 'cross session. Six of us made it out the front door in order to come together and ride around a grassy park, occasionally jumping off and on again, and sometimes just falling off. I thoroughly enjoyed it - ridi...

Great write up Simon, I couldn't agree more. I rode two of the races at Fillongley and Pype Hayes but was too late to sign up for the league itself though next year I intend to give it my best shot. Coming 9th in the Vet45 at Pype Hayes has really encouraged me being only my second ever 'cross. It's...

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have a small size cyclocross bike that's surplus to requirements?
Needs to fit age 9-11 or thereabouts.
Condition not important.
Cheers,
Nic.
