so who's planning on road racing in ACC colours for 2008

Are you thinking about starting racing? Ask about future events in here, find out what you can expect at them and who else is going so you can scrounge a lift off someone rather than riding the 30 miles to get there yourself!

[quote="Toks"][quote="Grahame"]Well, maybe. If I can pluck up the courage/get a pass/compromise my stance on not giving money to the stuffed shirts at BCF and buy a licence.
Stop with this plucking up courage nonsense. I thought you've raced already loads of times 8)


Only on the mountainbike. My road/circuit race career is short:

Junior - entered 1 race. Packed after crashing hard at the bottom of a descent and ripping my kneee apart.

1990 - entered 1 race (in the USA, under a pseudonym, filling in for a rider who had broken his collarbone in a crash 3 days before the race). Won.

2005 - entered the Addiscombe "B" race at Hillingdon. Packed with cramp and a big dose of " the Feckits".

2007 - entered the Addiscombe "B" race at Hillingdon. Won after remembering that the only time it matters whether you are on the front or not is when you cross the line.

So my career record reads packed, won, packed, won.

Exactly just as i thought. You beat 1 or 2 seasoned 4th cats in the B race so its a big Yes from Graham :D

Keith Knight doesn't post very often, but if his back is Ok, he'll be a top flight rider.

Congratulations to Ajay and Kevin.

Now back on topic, go for it Mo. Have a crack at a few races at Crystal Palace. You'll be racing with those in the same category, with the same gear restrictions. You'll have nothing to lose and it will be great experience for you for the future.

Plenty of support from others waiting to race in the seniors too.
