Races are held at Bethlem Hospital in Beckenham and at Herne Hill Velodrome. One of the races is being described as a "grass crit", whatever that is...The courses are great fun. The racing is…See More

Simon Clarke replied to Johnny Edwards's discussion Bedgebury MTB 1hr XC Races?
"Things conspired against making Bedgebury last weekend, but the WSS race linked above is something I am keen to try. So I'll be off down the M20 for the vets race on Sunday. If anybody else fancies giving it a go I'd be very happy to share…"

Simon Clarke replied to Johnny Edwards's discussion Bedgebury MTB 1hr XC Races?
"It looks like I can do this Saturday's race. I fancy a bit of a warm up, race and then a trundle round the Bedgebury XC trail. Happy to share transport and parking if others are up for it. I've not done these races before, but probably a…"

"I turned up for the Gorrick race at Deepcut with only a couple of hours on the mountain bike this year and had it in my head that it would just be four hours of training... Certainly my lack of skills practice was obvious before I hit the course as…"

(Really) Old Cycling Weekly Magazines

A colleague of mine used to be a pro back in the day, but before that, in his youth he was an avid reader of Cycling Weekly. He calls it "the comic". Anyway, he has about a hundred copies of it from the late sixties and early seventies in his loft that he would like to get rid of. He can't bring himself to throw them away, but would like them to go to somebody who would be interested in flicking through them. Perhaps some of our members would be able to find their younger selves in the race…See More

"Awesome work Jonathan. Good to see that while your front mech may have been inoperable it was stuck in the big ring - hardcore! Don't be cleaning out that rear mech - all the gunk seems to be keeping your chain nice and clean, and you might get…"
