Taking a break...



We had hoped that we'd be able to get back into running events by now but regret that personal circumstances continue to make that impossible. Rather than reschedule again and hope all will be well we've decided to knock this year on the head and reconvene for the 2014 season. It's not a total disaster - the detailed route for Shillingstone has been planned and approved and it's one of our best  yet  so it will be something really special to look forward to next season.

In the mean time sorry for the disappointment - we're missing them too :-(

Shillingstone rescheduled



Due to personal circumstances we very much regret that we'll be unable to put any events together for the next 3 months or so.  Shillingstone is probably one of the best events in the South and we're negotiating with the Forestry Commission to visit there later this year and all being well we'll run the event of September 22nd.

We're really sorry for the disappointment - if it helps no one is more disappointed than us.

Look forward to seeing out there soon

Ansty - February 24th


Sorry guys, the rain has beaten us again. It's not been looking hopeful for some time but having spoken with the farmer today he confirmed our worst fears – the place is totally waterlogged. Actually it's so bad even the cows aren't being allowed into the fields!

Sorry it's not better news but look forward to seeing you all soon

2013 Update


Memberships...

Please remember that membership renewals end on the 31st January. That's when race numbers are allocated (which will be last years or your preferred number whenever possible) and after then all membership applications will be treated as a new applications. If you leave it till then you might lose your favourite number, and of course it's more expensive to rejoin. A healthy membership is absolutely vital for the well being of the club so if you haven't done so yet please help us along a little by renewing yours in plenty of time.


Next Event: 24th February...

With the first event of the year planned for just 4 weeks it's time for an update. Normally we'd be off to the Inside Park for our February race but the land owner has said no for this year – the area is so sodden our event would cause unacceptable permanent damage. A quick ring around our various venues reveals a similar picture everywhere – when will it ever stop raining????
Fortunately the land owners at Ansty have offered their venue, subject to weather and ground conditions of course. We'll walk the course with the landowner 2 weeks before the event and see how it's looking. Ansty is a cracking venue so with just a little luck we'll have an awesome first event to kick the season off. In the mean time we need to get the entries under way so please enter as soon as you can if you'd like to ride. If we have to cancel we'll refund the full entry fee so don't worry about that.


The rest of the series...

With the ever popular Shillingstone lined up for June and several new venues in the offing it should be an awesome year - it just needs to stop bloody raining!
