After a secondhand track bike for Joseph. A Dolan 45cm or similar. To suit a 10/11 year old.

Thanks

Tim

Great stuff

Tim

Check out decathlon and planet X for kids clothes and we have a bit of stock of our kit in age 14 but comes up small so would be fine and will last him. Jerseys half price if a member and first jersey. Decathlon have good kids winter gloves, arm warmers etc. Join Midlands youth racing on Facebook bi...

Sat 13th October at 3pm is new proposed date. Not 100% confirmed yet. Anyone fancy riding out to do? Might be a few academy members up for that as well

Tim

They are hoping to rearrange for a Saturday in October

Tim

Can't the hill climb be changed?

Tim

Sure we will share results with road/TT categories in due course but they are here in meantime https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/find-results Well done everyone! Big thanks John for organising and all marshals from a work colleague who's son did it, he finished second juvenile in 1hr52!!! Think h...

Tim

Too early to give that award. Robin is going to add a calendar feature to the website that every event organiser and racing captain will be able to edit and add events and races like these to, which will make this incredible spreadsheet totally defunct. Maybe.

#daveversuspetelittlemountainshowdown

Tim

Haha! I have done it several times Pete, including the first time in a monsoon when there were 70 people who DNS. I don't fear it, I love it! Should be compulsory for every member within 3 years of joining before being thrown out of the club for me :D I'm delighted to hear that Dave Hughes and you w...

Tim

Can i check the date next year? 15th April?

Well done everyone, in Cycling Weekly Jess

What was the result of Dan's test?

Tim

My money is on Gary Mac!

Tim

If anyone can give me, my two kids and their two bikes a lift let me know

My wife has firmly claimed the car

Tim

Great. I will be there 4.30-8 the children's races are 6-7 if he wants a go

Tim

See here but yes have age 8 and 10, only long sleeve in age 8. Depending on his height age 10 may be ok and last him longer my just turned six year old looks fine in age 8. Can take both sizes and try if you want.

Tim

Will let you know tomorrow.

Tim

Hi Andy. I have the children's kit stock will try and check what age 8 got in stock in next couple of days.

Tim

Tim

Redditch on Gorcott Hill on 12th too

Tim

Many thanks first to Charles, he's not a member of the club any more and still gives up his time to organise and run the day. Secondly to all the other helpers for pushing off my kids and time keeping and helping me with handicapping the children. Thirdly to Dan for all these brilliant pics, will ha...

Tim

This is the provisional full race schedule, subject to change on day depending on numbers there and weather etc. : 1 ADULT sprint heats 2 CHILDREN 1 lap time trial 3 ADULT 4000m (8 laps) individual pursuit 4 CHILDREN 1 lap handicap 5 ADULT sprint repercharge 6 CHILDREN Handicap Elimination / Devil 7...

Tim

Great Gemma. Do you need to rent a bike? What size if yes? Whether hiring a bike or not I'd advice getting there bit early so not rushed and should have chance to ride around before any races.

Tim

It's 2-6 not 1-5 as previously advertised. But get there early so ready to race from 2pm.

Tim

There are hire bikes £5. If you did a stage one session at Derby beforehand (may get a last minute spot) you would be totally fine to take part in individual pursuit or potentially on the day get there at 1 and if Gavin or Pete could get there a bit early and could get you up to starting and stoppin...

Tim

Thanks Steve!

Tim

Children age 4-15 on freewheel bikes
Adults on track bikes
Hire bikes available £5 please comment if you would like one.
Back up date if rained off is Saturday 9th July.

Tim

The club has bought club membership to the association so all you need is an individual card, I've got them, will try to remember to bring them tomorrow or Tuesday. Then enter and pay on night. It's a good evening and something different racing for their school in their school age. Isobel would do r...

Gorcott Hill

Anyone planning on entering I've got the membership cards.

Last year we had a 1st place and a 2nd place from our two entrants so will be tough to match

Tim

23 all the way! cos of mudguard rub and because when I've ridden hire bikes with 25 I've not noticed as Laurence says and because in the lab tests the differences are so marginal and depends on brand and pressure and wheel it's not clear cut and because I rarely ride for over 2hours so comfort isnt ...

Tim

Andy, was only updated on ctt website yesterday and I can only see my category so sure will all go on our website in due course and riders will be posted event guide. Eleven male Beacon riders in seniors under 40s, should we take bets on Matt Clegg v John Hunt? Really sorry to hear that Toby hope th...

Tim

Start sheet link has been emailed out

Tim

Looked like you were doing some really useful stuff Jess. Joseph says "Dave is the most aero"

Tim

When you click 'gaining an entry' on this page http://www.beaconrcc.org.uk/open_races/lmtt/entry.html

Tim

That makes more sense, thanks!

Tim

Is the closing date for entries listed of 16th April correct? Just a week before? Just asking as won't know til early April if I can enter. Thanks

Tim

Guess if it's on our website it must be confirmed. http://www.beaconrcc.org.uk/open_races/lmtt/index.html It's miles (2) shorter!!! :D Check out the new profile. http://www.beaconrcc.org.uk/open_races/lmtt/course_profile.html I'm a big doubt sadly due to holiday although will try to get back in time...

Tim

Is the lmtt route confirmed? Just wyre forest cc are advertisimg the new route and finish on Facebook. If it's on Facebook it must be true!

Tim

Adrian has applied to book Halesowen on Saturday 4th March already! Can decide what to do with the time, combined TT and track session? or extend it?

Tim

Away 23rd

Map and profile showing same course as previous years currently

Tim

I'd heard 30th April Mark but not sure. You heard the route is changing a little? #mountaintopfinish

Tim

Congratulations John and Jess and everyone who gave it a go. Ten riders going under 4 mins is something else.

Tim

I'm taking every opportunity to plug so this year also, you must do the track champs the day before! All welcome and there's a road bike time trial so you can just do that if the track/fixed gear doesn't appeal. Kids welcome too to race or just support as well, if you have any!

Tim

This event was my first contact with the club in September 2009 or 10. I joined just to do it, not realising you didn't need to! You just turn up with £3. I drove there, with my father in law and 1 year old in tow and bike in the boot. We drove down it and around the lanes as were early, that was my...

Tim

Well done everyone! Brilliant time John

Tim

Perfect. Seeing Laurence on Monday so will discuss with him then But possible captains/roles: TT - Jess Road - James for BC (although not if this affects his curry night organisation) & Dave for LVRC CX - Nic or Simon Track - Adrian BMX - Gav Mtb - Helen Job description - rally the troops flagging e...

Tim

Keep the ideas coming, I'd wondered if a team captain of each discipline could work? A road captain, track, cx, TT. Their job would be just to rally the troops a bit, be a point of contact for anyone wanting to give that discipline of racing a go, and do a monthly post on results of last months race...

Tim

Looking at previous record holders and times this is no mean feat!

http://www.beaconrcc.org.uk/resources/c ... index.html

Tim

Epic! Well done everyone!

Tim

I couldn't see the women's results at the time of posting. Go Jess!!!!! and Xav too who I think is a second claim member
