50 plus

[tobybrown35]

     in years 2 come possibiltty or not 

[kuwahara]

there sholud at least be an 45 + class next year if theres the demand old timer

Personally, I can't see 50+ happening for at least another 10 years in the UK.  We're not even getting 2 full gates of 40+ at the moment.

I think having a 45+ class in 3 or 4 years is more realistic.

[RATTY]

Ark at Jeff, sounds like he is a spring chicken

I think BCF will have to look at another class to accommodate the rise in us old timers on the gate

I'd agree if the numbers were there to support it Ratty.  But we only had 12 at Chessy on Sunday, and I think Phil and Billy are the oldest at 43-ish.

I can only think of 3 riders who would race 50+ at nationals - Billy Fieldhouse, Brian Dayson and Paul Cadwallader.

im 44 this autum mike and ady is also the same age as me so thats 2 of us.......

'44' i hear you all say

'really you don't look it'

 'oh thanx guys'

[dialledbikes]

To be honest Steve, I didn't even realise you were over 50.

And Phil, you're right, you don't look 44 

I reckon there will be enough for 45+ in maybe 3 years time.

[wolfybmx]

I HOPE SO

[xtremepervert]

  You're right, Wolfy doesn't look 43 - but he used to!!!

[Flying_fox]

So are you saying have a 30-39 cruiser, 40-45, then a 45+? I can't see that happeneing.

I think there will be a 50+ in a few years time, if there's enough interest, and probably a 40+ 20" as well.

I can think of a couple of other riders who might come back to racing at nationals if there was a 50+, Pete Jackson and Pete Taylor.

May as well go the whole hog and bring back age groups for each year. I might stand a chance of winning something that way.
