There is a 3 round race series being held over the winter.
Every club has been invited to compete.
DATES
Round 1 - Coppell 21 Nov
Round 2 - Manchester 23 Jan
Round 3 - Crewe 20 Feb
Just got this news from Leeds BMX club.
Looks like the hard work has been done for us. All you have to do is turn up :daumenhoch:
-
Great news! :daumenhoch:
This looks perfect for winter - 3 races. Just the right amount to keep the momentum going and no too taxing on the commitment front.
See you guys at Coppull!
-
Sweet-ish.....Can do coppul but neither of the other 2 :(
-
cant do any
will clash with winter cruiser trainin plans
-
dont think i'll be making them meetings either :-\
-
i should be able to make all :), but if a snowboardin holiday comes up then i may miss 1 ???
-
I think those 3 plus Barnard Castle after Crimbo and a Preston Club race.
Thats 5.
Preston could probably be fit into December. Barnard Castle sometime after Xmas and before the summer series!!
No pressure on racing. Nice and friendly, plenty of banter. Plenty of exercise. Everyone stays fit and healthy and everyone is ready for the summer series.
Also get Betty to include a few Skatepark meets too.
If you can make a meet then good, if you can't then not a problem. Winter training just to keep your finely honed instrument in tune!!
-
defo count me in for all...

Couldn't agree more John. I had a good result - it should be included :LolLolLolLol:

I must say i remember someone saying it was going to be the 1st race of the series :daumenhoch:
-
Yah bunch o'gays
It was stated that Preston was the 1st round but..................Its really the club championships. It wasn't part of any series, just a one off event.
So why not leave it like that.
They'll be no oggy this time so both you losers should gain a place anyway!! :LolLolLolLol:
It all depends on what we're having. If its a 3 race series based on the Inter Series then why not have it over the 3 races.
If we are having more races including Barnard Castle then it only makes sense to include another Preston race because they'll be having loads of club races.
Whichever way, the Club Championships points shouldn't be included as its a one-off event plus we might be able to get a few more newbies to race and Bren might be up for it. So lets start the winter series afresh.
If its decided that the 3 race series is the way to go then there might be trophy up for grabs, so it could make it easier to be over the 3 races.
Who can make the 3 inter races and who can't?
Who has an opinion about the winter OS Series etc, etc.
Speak up and lets get it sorted before the first race (or 2nd race for those glory hounds). :daumenhoch:
-
I will be at EVERYTHING after the 15 December! (apart from around 5 Feb when she is sue to drop)
-
Of the 3 race series, I'm not 100% for any of them for various reasons, sorry to say :-[
Manchester clashes with a gig and Crewe is a bit too far from Harrogate (I did 2 of their big races this year); I've done some serious mileage this year including MK and cheering on various RADsters at the Derby and Manc nationals. Coppull is possible for me but both me and my lad had both planned to get our heads down with plenty of local training (fitness and skills) for a while.
Most of this is down to my circumstances and no reflection on the ace fun and banter of OS racing :daumenhoch:
[BTW Bradford said they'd be happy to host a round of winter OS racing on a Sunday; they just needed to know roughly when, as most of their races are not likely to be on a Sunday because of parking problems when the Sunday football is on.]
-
Molster, start a poll with a load of dates inc the said 3 and go from there :daumenhoch:
-
I'll find out the dates for every club winter series + the inter-series ones and then I'll start a thread when I have all of the information.
Everyone can view the dates and state what they think they can make.
Then we'll take it from there!! :daumenhoch:
[BTW Bradford said they'd be happy to host a round of winter OS racing on a Sunday; they just needed to know roughly when, as most of their races are not likely to be on a Sunday because of parking problems when the Sunday football is on.]
...........So they might shift one of their saturday/mid week races to sunday if we can guarantee a good OS turnout?
Or do they not have any club races over winter?
-
...........So they might shift one of their saturday/mid week races to sunday if we can guarantee a good OS turnout?
Exactly - they will be midweek (floodlit) or Saturday late morning/noon for the most part ('cos of the parking issues). Probably once a month but dates haven't been announced yet. I was promised that they'd run one on a Sunday if we said when. As their dates aren't out yet, it's down to us to pick an approximate date.
-
Keep it simple. Offical North Region Winter Series and some seperate one-off races!
I suggest we have a 3 round series - which is basically the Offical North Region Winter Series. After all, thats the way we've historically done it and it'd simplyfy the points scoring.
And seperate to that we have a series of "one off, race for glory" type events -e.g. the afformention Barnard Castle and Preston Club meets.
Just my opinion - I'll go along with anything. :daumenhoch:
-
Can you change the name to North West and Just North of Wales Winter Series :daumenhoch:
or...
'Lets pick three tracks the are fookin' miles away from the North East... A Winter Series for Northern Southerners'
:D

i thought old school races were "just a bit of fun" :LolLolLolLol: sounds like everyones taking this dead serious and scared to death of not beeing able to make a race and lose a few points. moley the trophy should go to the last place guy and thats me lol :LolLolLolLol: im with moleys idea stick up every race that will give us an old school gate and lets do as many as we can. that way if u can make it cool if u cant no probs. if you only stick to 3 races and some guys cant make em all or they are to far from them its going to spoil the fun bit dont u think? personaly ill race at every race i can the more races posted the more fun :daumenhoch:

How's about 5 races/dates and 3 from the 5 count, would be good if there was something on NE
-
3 x Inter Club Series (coppull, Manchester & Crewe)
Bradford
Barnard Castle
If anyone can persuade Hartlepool to get a pre-summer/national meet together then Hartlepool could be the last meet...................but it wont happen. Someone needs to ask them. So its up to you NE lads!! :daumenhoch:
Has Heywood got the dosh for gate yet? Maybe they might want to hold a meet?
-
3 x Inter Club Series (coppull, Manchester & Crewe)
Bradford
Barnard Castle
That sound fine to me - three from five races isn't too much of a commitment either. Could do with knowing all the dates as soon as possible though - a serious rider like me needs to plan for maximum points potential!
A question - isn't the interclub series for, er, the clubs involved or are they open to anyone?

I will ask...

3 results from 5 or 6 meets sounds good to me but hartlepool really needs to get sorted .its great track and good turnout and as said makes the trasvelling bit fairer for the ne lads

Question now posted on North East BMX website.
-
Inter Club series is just that. Club meets held at 3 venues to maximise turnout at the meets and to minimise cost of meets by holding fewer meets at each club.
Its open to anyone who can be arsed turning up.
I've already talked to Coppull and they said we'd be fine racing at all venues.
Crewe has always been OS friendly and I can't see Manchester being any different.
We just need 4 riders to make a gate..............Or we'll be stuck in with another class.
Heres whats available to race in North Region (Date order)

There is nothing in December. Except Maybe Xmas/fun meets etc,etc
So I suggest this line up as a series :-
Rnd 1 : 21.11.2010 Inter Club Winter Racing Round 1 at Mid Lancs (Coppull) BMX Club
Rnd 2 : Mid Dec Bradford Bandits
Rnd 3 : 23.01.2011 Inter Club Winter Racing Round 2 At Manchester BMX Track
Rnd 4 : 20.02.2011 Inter Club Winter Racing Round 3 At Cheshire Ghostriders (Crewe) BMX Club
Rnd 5 : 06.03.2011 Preston Pirates BMX Club Winter Series R5
Thats one a month.
Summer series will start by April or end of March so we're no really going to get another meet in!!
If we can get Hartlepool, Heywood or Barnard Castle into the mix then we can swap Crewe and/or Preston and add another race between Jan-Mar to make 6 races.
What dya think?
-
Looks like a fair approach to me Molester :Great_Britain:
(At Bradford any adult novices get mixed in with the Old Skool and no-one has a problem with that)
-
once confirmed dates are set i'll be up for a few but the 21st coppull will be outa the runnin for me bren n dan i reckon, will try n persuade the h/pool club to organise something :daumenhoch:
-

Can you make Coppull if it was another date?
There might be a club meet, either before are after the 21st!!
-
Wack them dates and locations on to a poll and go with the results as long the top 5 or 6 dates are not all in same month :daumenhoch:
