Not sure, could be some long haired teenager It's the Aire Valley RT (or similar) as far as I'm aware, but I can't see number 99 in the results. Number 99 is listed as (in the pre registered entrants) Tom Jolly (Aire Valley Racing Team), & is an Under 16. I guess he didn't finish, which is why he's not showing _________________ Richard A Thackeray Yorkshire Born & Bred, and proud of it. "Stop The Press!" 'www' updated; 17th August 2009

'We're' up at Helmsley, racing in the grounds of Duncombe Park, as a support event to the Ryedale Grand Prix I guess I'm ashamed to say I didn't got to 'Round 4' at Duncombe Park on Sunday. The thought of driving 70 miles in order to 'get a good kicking', & then driving the same back didn't appeal as much as it should have done. And timewise it'd have been an hour & 1/2 to hour & 3/4hours each way to receive that 'kicking' For a 3/4 hour race. I still went out for 3 hours though (like I did this morning too) Russ Downing won the 'Rumble' though http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/web/site/BC/roa/EventReports2009/2009 0607_RyedaleGP.asp Anyway, 'Round 4' (Wed 17th) is easier, as it's only a few junctions further westbound on the M62, being roughly a mile away from jct 26. It was a soggy, boggy mess last November, where you had to stand up to pedal downhill!!!, but the general concensus of opion was that it'd make a great course in the dry _________________ Richard A Thackeray Yorkshire Born & Bred, and proud of it.

Sadly I DNF'd, somewhere along the line, I picked up a puncture The tyre was soft when I got there, so I just pumped it up. I'm annoyed, as I'd picked up about 15- 20 places in the 6 laps till I packed; the back end was slidingout on corners & it wasn't fair to risk taking anyone else with me if it went. _________________ Richard A Thackeray Yorkshire Born & Bred, and proud of it.

Thanks. Roll on Wednesday 1st July, it's a (reasonably) local one, I can ride there (30 minutes at a steady pace) The cause of the puncture? I dug out a big thorn yesterday morning, but I had parked up very close to a Hawthorn hedge though _________________ Richard A Thackeray Yorkshire Born & Bred, and proud of it. "Stop The Press!"

It was! Blimey, was it a horrible, sticky evening! Not sure of the results, but at a guess, just after 'midfield' The Sandpit was as grim as it was last year - seemed deeper this year though _________________ Richard A Thackeray Yorkshire Born & Bred, and proud of it.

Come on down & have a go!! There's an event at Ampleforth College The times shown by the BCF are wrong though! These are the correct start times 1. Under 14's @ 11:00am. £3.00 entry (I think) 2. Over 14's @ 12:00 noon. £7.00 entry (has been so far in the series) MTB'ers are welcome to compete. However, I believe the commisaires have the right to insist on Club colours, or plain shirts, even for an event like this (as it could be considered a regional championship) But, don't quote me on it!!! http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/nmsruntime/saveasdialog.asp?lID=11913 &sID=122 See 'Point 5.7' Instead... If anyone does want to compete, e-mail Darrell via the links on the 'YCCA' home-page (linked in my signature) & ask. It might save potential arguements if you turn up in your Kona/Specialized/Trek/etc... shirt _________________ Richard A Thackeray Yorkshire Born & Bred, and proud of it. "Stop The Press!"

I shall be passing the very place on my bike, whilst completing a 125 mile ride in aid of a local charity for cancer sufferers, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it. _________________ There was a checkpoint charlie He didn't crack a smile...............
