[quote="AdamJCotterell"]Well yeah, sometime paul i wouldnt mind you telling me the ins and outs. Because i obviously dont know the whole picture, but i would like to know why so many people hold BC in such contempt!?
As Paul says above, they are only interested in track cycling, 'cos that gets them loads of lovely lottery lolly.
They do approximately 2/3 of nothing for grass roots cycling, making such statements as "No competitive mountainbikers have come from the south east" Implying that an off-road legacy at Eastway is important. They seem to have forgotten the 3 current (2 youth and senior female) national champions who started their mountainbiking racing career at the Beastway series.
They have actively obstructed our attempts to get this years Bestway series up and running. It is only going ahead because of a huge amount of behind the scenes work by a few volunteers.
