First of all may I add, to those already posted on the Hillingdon thread, my H-U-U-U-U-GE thanks to Alan for doing an excellent job of leading the organisating, to all those - most visibly, and audibly Derrick - who lent a hand and to Bazz for dealing with opening-up and locking-down.
Now, you have your own chance to earn such everlasting approbation by taking your turn at being an organisator-in-chief. The most urgent request is for someone to lead organisating at Darley Moor (though there are plenty of vacancies for the post at other meetings later in the season). You won't be on your own - relative newcomer John Lucian has already stepped up with an offer to assist - and you know that there will be other willing helpers on the day if you need them.
As organisator you get to choose the format of racing. One suggestion is prompted by Alan telling me that his format of one race in each direction proved a very popular decision yesterday; we know from experience that this works at Darley Moor too. ------------- Challenge Hurricane - MicWic Delta (Front half) - Burrows Ratracer |

As I said in http://forum.bhpc.org.uk/hillingdon-17th-april_topic4261_page7.html - another part of the forest , I'm happy to do Darley Moor unless someone else wants to. John Lucien's help would be much appreciated. Does anyone know where the club laptop is? It would be good to have it beforehand to get the race software on and prepped up. I've not used the timing system in it's current state so if that's going to turn up then someone else might have to do that bit. |

Yes 'tis with me. I'll need it for testing the hopefully updated tags (see other part of the forest) but if you want to set up the spreadsheet and send it up I'll make sure it works... ------------- gNick "I'm afraid it's definite, Mrs Banker - your son has bicycles" |

I'll send you the spreadsheet from Hillingdon in a minute gNick so that you can play wiith it, but Kevin is tweaking it to make it even more superb than it already is so there will be some changes...

| after the racing i would like to carry on and do an hour or so more - just to see if i can do it, would that be allowed? I am more than willing to lock up! |

No problem in terms of insurance Ian... Adrian will be able to tell you what time we have to be off the track. Only obvious concern would be if you had an accident or were taken ill while there on your own... It may well be that others want to stay and play as well of course in which case there wouldn't be a problem... A couple of the pedal car teams are likely to be there I think and they may well want to take advantage of some extra track time...  ------------- |

Geoff, there are i'm sure many more challenges in life for me. However, a 24hr record attempt is not one of them, believe me keeping going at any speed for an hour is hard enough!

Details of the plan for racing next Sunday (15th May) at Darley Moor.
10am - sign on open
11.15am - 2 lap time trial, anti-clockwise, riders start every 30 seconds. Note: no warm up on the track once TT begins, and one go for each rider except under severe circumstances and at the discretion of the organisers
12.30pm - first race (probably slower), 45 minutes plus one lap, clockwise.
1.45pm - second race (probably faster), as above
3-4pm - track available for try outs etc AND.....
3-4pm - opportunity to find new homes for all those cycling bits cluttering up your garages and sheds at an informal "saddle-bag" sale. Just bring the cycling related bits you don't want and see if someone will love them more than you do.
Heather, Andrew and John (Lucian)

As part of the Darley Moor Saddlebag sale I have a quantity of ventilated seat seat material (very similar to that used to make those very nice Dutch VENTIlated SIT mats).
I was thinking of £10 per 900mm x 300mm slab, obviously £20 per 900 x 600 if you want double thickness. Depending on how things go I may offer a service to make up seat cushions. PM me if you want to place an order or reserve a slab.

warning, GNick has just pointed out that the a50 is closed West bound. if you're coming from the south it's likely to cause issues. looks like it's between Sudbury and uttoxeter right at the end of the a515.. if you check the map Theres an alternative route just south going past Sudbury hall itself which has access to the a515 darley moor road. |

Err. I don't remember it happening in a BHPC race any time in my very nearly 10 years racing. May I add my thanks to Heather for leading the organisating, to Jon and Anne for overcoming their hangovers to step in to help out in Andrew's unavoidable absence (get well soon Andrew) to gNick for doing a grand job with the timing system and for everyone else who lent a hand.

We need a bloke like they have on Test Match Special, who immediately furnishes us with the details of the relavent event! When I first started going to BHPC races in the mid nineties, faired trikes were in the ascendancy - maybe those times will return? I'd like to add my thanks to the organisers Heather, gNick, Jon et al. Afraid I'm still feeling below par, due to lingering cold and lack of fitness :-( Was even beaten by a 15 year old girl - very well done Sarah - you're really starting to show your true potential, now there's a chance of winning a championship ;-) Get well soon Andrew! ------------- Right Time - Right Place - Wrong Speed |

A grand day out, apart from the weather and even that was OK since it threatened a few times but didn't actually rain. Only one tag didn't properly work but by being able to ask where people were and very importantly a good timed finish order it was sorted out easily. Thanks to all who organised and helped - without you there could be no races - and a special thank you to Darley Moor for having a working heater in the office!  ------------- gNick "I'm afraid it's definite, Mrs Banker - your son has bicycles" |

In the apparent absence of any further quibbles the results tables have been finalised and should be appearing on the BHPC website sometime soon. Many thanks to gNick for a full set of quibble-resistant e-results, making the results munging vastly easier. I hope this sets a pattern for the rest of the season, and for years to come. Thanks also for the get-well-soons. Whatever it was I had left just as rapidly as it arrived and it's as if nothing ever happened (except I come round to find I've dropped five places in Part-Faired  ...). |

Did anyone pick up a yellow cycle top at Darley Moor?
Tis mine, but no great loss if not. Had a great time re-learning how to race a streamliner around tight(ish) hairpins.
