Just a thought, with nearly 3000 members now, I wondered how many actually race, are thinking of racing or are actively against racing?

i like OS racing, nothing too serious though not exactly race fit

more for the laffs than the medals

You missed out mid-school, hope it's nothing personal.

RATTY · « **Reply #3 on:** April 24, 2007, 05:25 PM »

Does anyone race mid school?? I thought that was a freestyle thing?

I cant alter it now, so Mid goes in with the old

Same here, will try and get to practice soon

OS is a right laff and a great route back into racing. However, I'm thinking of doing 30-39 cruiser next year once I've re-learned a bit more racecraft

how serious can it all get

it's like 'chariots of fat' FFS. it's great to piss about, but the thought of a 15 stone bloke pushing a dia compe lever through my ribs/lung before crushing me in the first berm and then trying to explain why i won't be at working for a bit worries me. Ah well, riders ready, pedals ready......................................................

Quite a few of the hersden regulars ride late 80's or 90's bikes
gotta love those 21" top tubes

I used to race os, well I did at the first couple of Alans os nationals.

Now it's all NS lovleyness and controlability all the way all the time.

I'm going to build a mid school s&m I think, so I must be going into regression.

I must have banged my head harder than I thought when I broke my collar bone.

Though I never raced bitd I started racing Dads races @ Braintree a few years ago and it's become addictive. Have a nu-skool Felt cruiser, nu-skool DK XL and my recent build the Redline Anniversary edition for the Old Skool series. Love every minute of racing for the buzz it gives me. Find it motivates me to get fitter, lose weight and generally be more active but the body tells me otherwise on many occassions and my shoulder still twinges from a race fall about three years ago at Norwich. Will be riding and racing for as long as I physically can. Fortunately work next day isn't a particular concern as I already get a pension and work for extra money to buy bikes!!
