Eastway - one more time then gone forever

A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

I'm might turn up at Eastway next sat and do one last race....weather dependent.
Never raced there before, so it should be interesting.
We hopefully should get a big ACC turn out and get Marek his points :)

[quote]a bit of confusion around maybe. So MArek best bet is to act as if points on offer - damn means I'll have to do a bit of training this week.
Yeah rider psychological or conspiratory tricks maybe! Its definitely a BCF points race... Marek I don't know what happened to Rob Jefferoy but he apparently got lapped at Dunsfold; but Daniel Patten is still going strong. He was second this time... Well done Paul for giving it a go in the 4ths. Give us a report mate. What was it like?

[size=75]Nearly there now!

We just hit break-even on the promotion and can now confirm the prize list and pre-entries.
Hope you agree it's pretty impressive and worth riding for. I would like to increase the amounts with a good EoL which is still available on all races.

Please can you also check the rider list to make sure you're down for the correct start(s) and also note whether I've got your category correct. No problem if it's not right, just email me to have it corrected. It's much easier to do this in advance of the day.

You will find your name and other details are pre-printed on the signing-on sheet, so do remember to look out for the pre-entered riders section.

If you are a Beastway rider please note:
The Tyranny requests you bring your 2006 number board if possible. This means they will already have your details to speed things up
We're waiting on the weather to determine the course-build but there are two new technical sections for you to enjoy.
We may even work a layout which takes you through a specially-designated extra car-park area. The idea is to increase the fun and vehicle security by the continuous passage of riders. The main car park will probably still be full from the road events, anyhow. It should be like an extra arena.
There will be a special combined prize for those who've ridden both on and off-road events. If it's possible to base this on highest race positions added together to make lowest total, that's what we will do. Otherwise the Gods will decide. This prize is a perpetual award which will be up for grabs every autumn so the winner has to bring it to Hog Hill.

If you are a youth road racer, please remember to get your gears restricted to the BC limits. We will be running a check so it really helps if you come prepared..

All details are at the website. http://www.eastway7506.btinternet.co.uk - Please go there now to make sure your entry's in correctly

Look out for additional prizes - courtesy of our sponsors Evans Cycles. If you ride well enough to make it on there, do make sure you're around for the podium when it's called.

Thanks go to everyone who's going to be helping on the day, especially Julie and the LVYCC crew on the cafe, ESL and Beastway.

See you there!

[color=blue][size=200]£200 cash prize![/size][/color]

I will be driving with two bikes at the back, could offer a lift from Croydon for one person. I think a third bike would fit too, with all wheels off.

I will be driving as well. Probably with 2 bikes. And an expectation that I'll be giving a lift home to Simon.
