I've just got back from the States.
I'll start a riders list as soon as I get a few spare minutes.
I dont think I could make 21st at Coppull anyway and I dont think the 14th is any good me either. So I'll check what I've got on.
As for OS legal rides...............The whole point of getting this new relaxed dispensation from the North Region was to revive OS racing Ooop north. If you just rode NS then you should have to buy a license because it isn't in the spirit of the dispensation. If you want to race NS then buy a license, race another class and bring another bike or ride you OS bike in that class. You can't have it both ways. The dispensation is just for OS.......nothing else.............otherwise every license paying racer would get the hump.
1" headset (quill) and Centrally mounted caliper brake (pitbulls allowed). That includes any ride upto mid 90's when 1" HS and Caliper brakes were phased out. 24"ers allowed. No converted NS bikes and definitely no NS bikes allowed to race EVER. No exceptions. The dispensation for no license is for an OS Class. If people start turning up with NS thinking they'll get a cheap race then whats the point. The dispensation is there to make sure we stay separated from the normal racing. So if that means people have to race some sketchy OS racer with no brakes when wet then so be it. Nobody should take the piss on the rules. There are plenty of OS racing bikes out there. If you aint got one then buy, borrow or steal one. No excuse to turn up on a NS ride or MTB (unless its a funky OS one). Choppers should be allowed too!!!!
