That was Gareth Scott. He finished 5th. Well done on your results.

jonnyri

As witnessed on the bromsgrove reliability up fish hill when I was off the back and Rich was off the front

jonnyri

200 points isn't it for cat1 ? I would agree that Rich is capable but it takes a lot to gather those and bearing in mind that at cat 2 you are often racing against 1's and elites.

jonnyri

Quality!

jonnyri

Nice one Richard

National Trophy Ninth place in the penultimate round 5 took me to joint 9th overall in the series with only a smattering of points seperating myself and my closest rivals, Payton, Welburn, Webb, Cross. Ahead and behind this group there was a points seperation in excess of 20 points both ways. A good...

Gareth forgot to wear his transponder. Donut!

I decided to commit to enter the National Trophy series this year. Which I did. I decided to do some pre season cross specific training. Which I didn't. Was that a good idea. No. So no real surprise to find myself struggling a bit in both the regional and opening National rounds. Admittedly this yea...

jonnyri

Please note that tomorrow's round 7 cyclo cross at Moreton Morrell has been cancelled due to waterlogged grounds.

jonnyri

Is this a bike, run, bike type event?

jonnyri

Quite possibly the most strength sapping course I've ever ridden. There was possibly about one 50 metres section where the bike would actually roll. Last year the same course was bone dry and super fast. Good old global warming. There were some funny moments though not least a fella doing a bike cha...

jonnyri

I've got a decent handycam that has frame by frame advance but more than one would be ideal.

jonnyri

Thanks guys. perhaps Dave could let us know how we are doing on the marshalls front we just need to be sure were covered.
We are very grateful for everybody's help.
Dont worry Greg I've been awarded the role of finish line judge...gulp.

jonnyri

If its helpful, there will be plenty of Beacon riders to collar between 7.30-9am at tomorrow's audax. Perhaps there will but it's a lot to ask someone who's spent hours of their time organising the event to have to actively go out and recruit help. No marshals, no race ... isn't it. There are plent...

jonnyri

I have the numbers and a box ful of racing stuff from Doug.

jonnyri

A Beacon 1st/2nd I believe. Congrats to Shaun on gaining his 2nd cat last night.

Beacon currently lie 8th in the regional rankings which ain't bad.

Ruth

No don't worry Ruth, you covered the last one, but thanks.

jonnyri

The meeting will be on the 13th then. Gareth and myself will attend but I hoped for a bit more support.

jonnyri

Redditch r&p are seeking to have a meeting with some Beacon representatives to formalise arrangements for the organising and marshalling of our event with them on the 16th September. This will be the first race in the West Mids League. Two dates for the meeting have been proposed, either 6th or 13th...

Well done Richard. Well won.

jonnyri

Well done Mike.

jonnyri

[With Gareth doing a PB on the course]

You've just been Hovis'd !!

jonnyri

Can I remind those already promised to marshal / drive and anyone else able to marshal tomorrow evening for our joint round of the South Staffs league with Halesowen to be at the headquarters which is now Bobbington airfield Dy7 5dy (Crab lane ) for around 6pm.

Many thanks

Can't wait to get to elite level then if that's normal lap times.

jonnyri

Well done lee.

jonnyri

It would take me that long to do the swim. Good result.

jonnyri

Well done to you and your team then.

I don't know how Keith does it but the whole world seems to be in receipt of his posts

jonnyri

Spoke to Sean about the race-he did say that in the break of 3 he didn't get much help from the other 2.] I'm sure they were quite happy to let Sean do the work then take the sprint! That's racing isn't it if you let it happen. Some good strong riders in the top ten ,Sean's on good form, well deser...

Excellent Carl, cheers.

They are a handicap race so accomodate all catagory levels from 4th to elite including pro riders occasionally. Usually 5 groups with 4th cats starting in the first two groups as a rule. Road races of 4-5 laps duration 30/35 miles total. If anyone fancys riding these it is very much appreciated (and...

jonnyri

Yep good to have a beacon trio in the top ten. Incidentally there was no group 3 on thursday due to the conditions and the race was shortened by a lap.

jonnyri

Done in style. Superb!

jonnyri

Beacon hosted a round of the SSSCCRRL on thursday last. Another wet and windy evening saw the usual handicap system changed to accomodate the short circuit. The first race was one group of 4th cat riders. Gary Mac and Greg both rode the race with Gary coming in 6th and Greg just outside the top 10. ...

And is that a big hole in your shorts

Well done Doug. The wyre forest rider doesnt look very happy

You boys seem to be getting the hang of it now

Well done.

Well done Mike. Its a nice feeling isn`t it. You`ll want more ! Unlucky Lee.

[What's the story on race license and entry, do you need to do both before or can I just get a provisional license and enter on night? Ive got gold membership on british cycling but not a license yet] Tim, Good to hear your going to have a go. Race entry varies but is generally EOL (Enter on Line), ...

[I'm coming training with you boys in the off season!]

What off season

jonnyri

[Do you come up against many big names in the E/1/2 events, Jon?]

Compared to me...everyone George.

Seriously tho, Tennant has ridden the SSS`s from time to time. Gareth came in one place behind Matt Cronshaw in the Nat B.
One to look out for in the future is James Radcliffe (Freds).
