SATURDAY RACE CANCELLED

Friday, January 15th, 2010

OK folks, unfortunately due to the prolonged bad weather the committee have made a decision to cancel this Saturdays Club race meeting. We made an inspection of the track last night and the entire track is still covered in sheet ice and extremely doubtful whether it will thaw before Saturday.

We will however endeavour to run gate practice or some kind of session between 3pm and 6pm on Saturday. Hope to see all riders there on Saturday especially all those bound for Belgium next week.

Belgium or Bust!!!

Cal Strickland, Pete Hosker, Andy Drelincourt, Roger Wilbraham Valerie Zebrokova and Rooster will be making the trip with up to 100 other British riders to take on the best Belgian riders and French and Dutch racers too.

The Kortrijk race is just one of several indoor races that take part each winter, giving riders the chance to compete when the weather has shut down outdoor tracks.

A report and pics will follow!

TRACK MAINTENANCE

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Platt Fields BMX track will be closed Friday 13th, Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th of November for track maintenance and jump changes. Club members are welcome to come down and help with the work. Phil Charnley (Hudu) will be re-shaping a couple of jumps by machine and there will then be plenty of stoning, surfacing and wackering to be done. We will be on site each day from around 8AM till 6PM so any help much appreciated. Its actually great winter training, pushing them wheelbarrows up the jumps is good for the legs!
