the thruxton event is being run as a proper BC race event so not recumbents they shopulc not event let hybrids. this is the lot last year that would not allow recumbent cos 'we are to unstable in corners' so unless you are a DF bhpcer ifs not going to effect us.
i have however sugeested next year they invit a bhpc team to enter ;-) I would further suggest as it is a close cct,we could offer our insureances to those invited riders ....... |

I think our insurance would only cover it if it was run as a BHPC event...
They're certainly not competing with us on price... £1000 for a team of 4 or £240 if you guarantee to raise at least £1300 in sponsorship... ![]() |

I can imagin a race being run by BHPC for invited members only ;)
as for the cost yes alot...... but look at this way 6hr racing. that's 3-4 bhpc events, given the range some travel the off set cost is not far off the same. Never mnd the reason for the sponsorship..... alone. there has been talk from a few member wanting to do long rides as the head toward forfilling their dreams. BHPC dont run a 24 yet..... jusy ideas anyway cheers g |

The pedal car club run a 24 hour race each year at much lower cost - The re are always a few BHPC members there... I'm expecting to see at least 5 there this year...

Nothing to stop us running a 24 hour race in theory - The biggest problem is likely to be getting people willing to help organise it... Which is why we've had to scale down Fowlmead...
![]() We can't even get people other than the usual few regulars to organise 40 minute races!! We still have several events this year with no volunteer to organise... Edited by AlanGoodman - 15 May 2013 at 10:02am |

yep I hear that......
24hr race could be almost self goventing..... each rider must provide their gps data at etc change to race control.... not need to have counters marshals and first aid could be a bigger problem.... but perhaps time to test te water see if any one actually wants a 24, or is it all a good dream ;) |

The Belgians are coming!
We probably won't be on time for the memorial ride though, but we'll be there to race... 'till then, Filip |
