Fantastic - thanks to all volunteers. What events would you like me to pitch for? Who would be up for the team pursuit. Totally agree that you'd want to go for BC track accreditation. If you can't make Newport Manchester or Derby, Halesowen have an accreditation session April 4, 7pm.

AdeR

Anyone know where the pdf entry form is?

AdeR

A date for your diaries. The inaugural Beacon RCC vs Halesowen A&CC inter-club track challenge will be taking place on 14th July. This is a great opportunity for riders to race for the club. The final programme has yet to be put together, but it is envisaged that it will showcase events not typicall...

AdeR

The Track at Halesowen is booked for our track champs on June 23rd. I thought that the format from last year was highly successful. I'd welcome any thoughts regarding the racing programme. The match sprints provided an opportunity to take part in the kind of racing that isn't on the normal Friday Ni...

AdeR

Will be there

AdeR

Any tickets left?

AdeR

I'll have to see how things are going. I am signed up for the ironbridge one though

AdeR

I'll be there in the B cats

AdeR

Has anyone received my race licence as club secretary from BC?

AdeR

I'll lead an a run if people want one. What does anyone fancy? Wellesbourne caf via Admingtom Ilmington - or Binton Bidford straight round?

AdeR

Try to talk to someone from Derby Dave. They run a 4 week course leading to accreditation but they are flexible if you can show experience.

AdeR

That should be 'ride' but given that we were up Clows Top!

AdeR

Thanks for a great rise Phil

AdeR

Would anyone be interested a few track riders' road sessions? I'm thinking brisk through and offs. cut throat lane broad lane spring lane earlswood. The objective would be to develop understanding as a group of riders. That way we would be better prepared for any situations where we found ourselves ...

AdeR

What's the consensus regarding mudguards at the moment?

AdeR

nice one Steve

AdeR

Is there on planned for this w'end?

AdeR

Great work Tim,. Up for both sessions.

AdeR

crikey 8:15 start MEANS 8:15 start. I was at the Black Horse at 8:19 - not a soul! I set off on my own and took in Frankley Romsley Rose hill and Weatheroak before bumping into Dave Marsh. We teamed up and rode out via Ullenhall and past the Purity Brewery down to Aston Cantlow and then back via Ear...

AdeR

Thanks for a great event

AdeR

Thanks for today Phil - great ride. Hope to see Andy + bike soon.

Thanks for a great ride Ian and all.

AdeR

Thanks for the patience with the mechanical

Great ride. Thanks Phil.

AdeR

Does anyone remember the Wednesday vets ride that the late great Hughie Maguire used to lead? It left Beckett's Island at 9:30 and out to Wellesbourne Caf via Binton Upper Lower Quinton and Loxley. Back via Hampton Lucy Lowsonford Hockley Heath. Hughie for those who don't remember him was a beacon m...

AdeR

Hi All, Just received this from Will Fotheringham. All the best, Adrian Hi Adrian Hope you are fit and well and up for track league this year. Looking forward to seeing you win the Bs. You were asking about more info for other riders in your club, if you could possibly circulate this letter, put on ...

AdeR

I was worried about not getting my mud fix having not done cx since boxing day. Thanks for leading Phil - a great route. Round Great Witley is simply the best.

AdeR

Thanks to Vince for a nice run through the 'damp squib' of a severe frost. Just us two!

AdeR

My first Cross race this season today at Henley. They don't muck about getting the results out: Category : 28th out of 42 No Laps 9 Fastest Lap 00:05:37 Slowest Lap 00:07:52 Average Lap 00:06:21 Lap1 00:07:52 Not easy being at the back of the grid on a twisty course. Lap2 00:05:37 Yes! this is more ...

AdeR

I've got some news from HA&CC 'Normally for Freewheelers I don't think they need accreditiation. Seniors yes. We are probably going to have a club registration system next year to try & get more riders from other clubs in, I'll keep you posted on that. Also going to try + set up fixed wheel accred s...

AdeR

I'll see what I can find out. All the best. A

AdeR

That's great news Tim - let me know if I can help in any way.

AdeR

Last race of the season and the Beacon was represented by Phil Farley and myself with Dave Farley and Simon Dighton in attendance. Nice to have some support on night that certainly had an end of season feel about it. I really must put on record my appreciation for Phil's entirely selfless efforts. I...

AdeR

Nice work

AdeR

Its a truism that you have to be in it to win it. This was certainly the case last night. However another truism is that you can only beat the competitors that show up. First up was an eight lap scratch race with a prime at 4 laps. I had a couple of early digs - but noone seemed willing to work a br...

AdeR

Great route Paul. Many thanks.

AdeR

http://www.derbyarena.uk.com/cycling/accreditation/ I can thoroughly recommend Derby's track accreditation session(s) for anyone who is interested in riding the track; whether or not you intend to race. I did mine this Saturday morning and it was a really good session. Its a bit like doing your driv...

AdeR

A still and warm night and some good racing. In the 10 lap scratch Phil Farley mixed things up really effectively; launching two attacks in the early stages of the race. I got away a bit later with one of the Halesowen young riders - only to have the break chased down by the men in purple! It all ca...

AdeR

Excellent to see Phil Farley at track night. He picked up a 4th in the 2 lap scratch(I was 5th). I time trialled my way to a 4th in the devil. I got 5th in the Women/Vets points race, and hung on for 3rd (B cat) in the 30 lap A B scratch race at the end. Interestingly enough the table on the Halesow...

AdeR

Thanks for a very enjoyable event

AdeR

Hi Tim, I'm heading to derby next w'end to get accrediation there. If halesowen aren't running sessions you could try there. then you'd have 'UK Track accredited' on your Licence. see http://www.derbyarena.uk.com/cycling/accreditation/ Youth 1 are predominantly U14 and U16 riders Youth 2 are predomi...

AdeR

Hi Tim, http://www.halesowencycling.net/#!fntl/c2431 has the details. I think they have some track bikes available for hire. They say 'Registration with the league is available for both individuals and clubs, priced £5 and £35 respectively. For those with no fixed wheel racing experience, accreditat...

AdeR

Fourth dry Friday night on the bounce. Some good racing with Steve going really well - I didn't have a lot in the tank this week. I'll post more details. However totally agree with Steve's comments last week about it being a good night for spectators. You also get to sample Simon's cooking!

AdeR

A good night's racing with a good series of races to encourage attacking racing. I was really pleased to see Steve Croggan heading toward signing on. The first race of the night was a 12 lap points. Me and Steve attacked immediately after the first sprint and got away in a group of three then four r...

AdeR

First track night of the season for me at Halesowen. I'd been up for it a fortnight ago but it rained; couldn't make last week. I was looking forward to racing in my new beacon kit for the first time. First race of the night for the B Cats was a 10 lap scratch. Noone tried anything very much during ...

AdeR

excellent!!

The way to spot Jamaican - there's no difference between 'Beer can' and 'Bacon'. The way to spot Brummie - there's no difference between 'Beacon' and 'Bacon'.

AdeR

Just wondering if any other bacon riders were intending to ride this year?
Are we registered as a club?
