Is anyone planning on going who is a first aider?

Last I knew (just after Scunthorpe), Twed had the timing kit and laptop.

 

My guess would be most of the problems at Scunthorpe were down to operator error... What we still need is more people capable of using the system.

 

We did try this last year (or maybe the year before, time goes so fast!) but got rained off. The idea would be very informal. Just bring anything you want to sell, with a price label on it and who you are and then we'll arrange an area to display said items. If you could also bring some money to buy the things others don't want but you can't do without - so much the better. If you prefer to barter and exchange items without cash changing hands - that's fine. The idea is simply to help each other out by redistributing useful items.

 

Any other ideas on how to make this work better, much appreciated.

Thanks :)

 

Race fees are £10 (or £7 for BHPC members).

There is no charge for spectators.

 

There will be no food available on site I'm afraid.

 

Local weather forecast is here... http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2656981" rel="nofollow - http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2656981

 

Any thoughts folks??

 

 

 

I have managed to capture the fast race from my perspective, all i have to do is master the editing, spend hrs uploading onto you tube and then find out how to insert a hyperlink!

 

Oh and thanks to weather gods for just giving us a tiny sprinkling of water to keep the dust down!

A great event...

 

Thanks to Karen Darke for towing me around most of the race!!

 

And huge thanks to whoever resurfaced what used to be the bumpy section!!!

 

 

Hope all those that fell off are ok....

Apologies to those who brought stuff for the promised cycle jumble. I'm afraid I forgot to announce it and by the time John Lucian reminded me, many people were ready to go.

 

There were also World Championship T shirts for sale which are being looked after by Anne Tweddle and which will (probably?) be available at the Lancaster/Preston weekend.

 

Heather

 

Also to Fiona for her usual excellent job in patching up the scraped and a special mention to Anne Tweddle for stopping to help out when Anne Coulson and I went down in the TT.  I've heard that there was a story from a bystander that Anne had taken me out.  Not true: I lost it on the corner and Anne, who I'd just passed, ploughed into the wreckage a second or two later.

 

Finally, thanks to the Weather Gods for clearing up in time for a good day's racing.  Apparently Park corner was under more than a foot of standing water on Friday afternoon, which would have made riding a low-racer interesting (though possibly less painful).

 

Any body got any decent shots?

 

Hopefully I'll be back on a bike by Preston as well.

It was very chivalrous of Adrian to lay his coat down in what was a puddle on Friday, in true Raleigh style, for a lady to progress over. Unfortunately he was still in it.
