Date clashes....

In spite of going to a great deal of trouble to plan our 2008 calendar (and publishing our dates way back in September last year!) we find ourselves once again in the ridiculous situation where date clashes force riders to choose between local events. On top of that the first round of the WOR’s new “Great Britain Cross Country” series has now been announced on our doorstep at Matchams and unfortunately clashes with our first race of the season on the 17th February at The Inside Park. We think this exciting new series will be a good thing for the sport and having spoken with Steve & Eddy at GBXC it seems they are tied by their TV contract as well as circuit availability so we have agreed to ask the land owners at The Inside Park if we might visit them two weeks later (on the 2nd March instead of the 17th February).

In order to truly give you the freedom to ride we have also been working on our other dates & present below our revised calendar – we could have dug our heels in and kept our original dates - but what's the point? - like you we just want to have fun on our bikes, so if it's all the same to you we'll leave the stupid games to others and we'll stick to what we do best - RACING!
