I seem to remember from last year, that there was a difficulty getting the top access gates unlocked, which was the only way the hand cyclists could access the track. Would it be a good idea to give the Rhyl track 'warden' a reminder to have the keys for these readily available? We may have three or more hand cyclists coming to Rhyl.

Cheers,
Alan B.

Thanks for the reminder, Alan. I'll be calling Marsh Tracks early next week to confirm arrangements so I'll mention it then.

Proposed format for Rhyl will be 2 x 30 minute races one each way round the track.
 
Approximate timetable:-
 
10 ish I'll set up sign on probably in the track reception area, this is slightly remote from the actual circuit
 
Anticlockwise practice
 
11.30 Slow race anticlockwise 30 minutes plus one lap
 
12.15 Fast race anticlockwise 30 minutes plus 1 lap
 
LUNCH + clockwise practice time
 
1.30 Slow race clockwise 30minutes plus one lap
 
2.15 Fast race clockwise 30 minutes plus one lap
 
Points will be split 33% first race 67% second race - this will test to see if anybody tactically saves something in the first race for the higher points in the second.
 
I will be bringing the whole family so the 10ish start is very much "ish".
 
All requests for alternative formats / points / timings  will be willingly entartained if accompanied by a post volunteering to take over responsibilities as organisator.

Sounds like a plan indeed, tactical racing could be quite an interesting sight.

I'm not sure if I'll be cycling or getting the train yet (depends on weather / laziness) so a later race start like this is much appreciated.

Including the tactic of riding your opponents off the track in the first race to make sure they don't compete in the second Evil Smile!

As if... Shocked

I would definitely recommend that anybody who didn't come along last year gives this track a go, even though it's a long way from everywhere other than Rhyl!
 
Fantastic track... Probably the best one we race on in my humble opinion...

Please could those with the stopwatches and laptop confirm that they will be at Rhyl Marsh Tracks on Sunday? I will bring a copy of the race software with me but if the laptop can be set up ready beforehand then so much the better. Please also print off a set of sign-on sheets.

We have the track booked from 10:00am but should be OK to assemble in the carpark earlier. I have arranged for the access ramp to the track to be opened ready for handcycles and anyone else who prefers not to lug their machine up the hill.

Weather looks good: 12deg and 7mph by 11am according to the BBC.

Getting excited already... Big smile

Did the three stopwatches that disappeared after Shrewsbury turn up in the end??

I have laptop, flags, bell, stop watches (still minus the 3 missing at end of Shrewsbury), clock, etc.  I've had a play with the software both at Shrewsbury with Nick and then at home later so think I can manage the software - what do I need off your copy of the software?
 
I don't know how to print off the sign on sheets basically because I haven't looked for that, is there any hints before I try at home this evening.
 
Weather, traffic and family permitting we should be there for about 10ish.
