Stu - you were dead right. Bloody clips. And what has happened to the nation of Latvia since I last went to the Euros? Half the country must have been there over the weekend. A well organised event though so worth the trip. At least the Germans didn't win much.

It was a superb event. The biggest BMX race to be held here since the Worlds in 96 I believe.

Just gutted I had to come home today. The bar at Cheddar has a strange pull to it. Thatchers I think they call it.

The engilsh didn't get as ripped apart a badly as the pessimists thought. We did get a few champs out of it. Shinny in Jnr Women, Mappy in one of the crowser classes, Alan Hill in the mad old mens classes (masters and 30-39), Ben Forward in 24-29. Loads of English kids made the finals. The 30+ 20" final had 3 flat pedal English riders in there. I even got out of the moto's on flats wearing jeans, then got 4 of the finalists in my quarter. :Great_Britain:

We would have had even more riders if they let every one race who wanted to (like the french) but thats a whole different matter. :-\

Yes, ban clips, but I want carbon forks banned as well. Filth.

Ah I just made it on the Saturday - didn't look like such a good day for the English but then again last time I went to the Euros was 84 and we did fairly well then I remember! Cheddar is a great venue. I remember going racing and thinking great track, shame the camping area is a bit rough. Superb idea to have a track at a camp site.
