The Beacon Message Board

Who's doing these? Can't see entrants on BC site. Know Mark and Lawrence are doing it. A few of us did them last year and they were really good. 10laps of a 2.5mile circuit on quiet lanes. I've entered 1st, 6spaces left on that although last year anyone who entered on night got a ride as there were some dns.

I'm in for all of these.

I'm chief Commissaire for 2 of the 3 events and assistant for the other.

Good weather for it! See u there

Quality stuff tonight really enjoyed it. Great result Stu.

Well marshalled Pat! How someone found the only lamppost on the course and decided to ride into it I don't know?

Lawrence you can do a full race report (just don't mention that I ended the race lying on a grass verge 100metres from the finish line and couldnt get back on my bike cos of cramp)

Shame it was so cold and wet but great fun regardless and Kudos to all who rode. Good work Stu, some more points towards your cat 2 licence and hopefully a shiny new race bike

Would love to know what happened to the guy who decided to hit the lamp post, looked horrific, almost fatal but upon passing 10 min later he was no where to be seen, almost like it never happened!

Not much to add to that, other than that it's quite hard to move up on that circuit without crossing the centre line, which is something to remember for next week (although watching Andy Collis do it was impressive). Half-way through the race, a Beacon lead-out train seemed to form. We should try that closer to the finish next week if we have the numbers again!

He was called Ian and was fine apparently!

Lawrence where we're you with 2laps to go when I attacked off the front? Was expecting you and then Mark to take over for Stu to have an easy finish!

Moving up is doable at certain points but you need to be careful!

That was a lot of fun, especially considering the weather. Nice to race alongside 3 other Beacon riders as well.

Special mention goes to Tim Egan for a near pro level lead out into the last corner,
If I get any prize money for 4th I'll split it with you.

Well if I'd known there was money in it...

Who's racing it again next week? Me and Stuart have entered all three. Tim? Mark?

I only entered the 1 st one, gutted.

I'm unlikely for next 2. Renshaw role goes to u Lawrence. I'm pretty sure u will get entry on the line Mark thinking about it both me and Lee did last year.

Stu needs more leadout men in Nottingham anyone joining us?

Well done Stu for another top 5 finish! 2nd Cat soon!?

Great stuff Stu. Well done again

Great result Stu, well done.

Good result, Stuart!

Stop it please, you're making me blush.

Enjoy this, I am, mainly because I know that if I make number 2 this/next season, points will be few and far between.

Thanks all.
