It's not just any race, this will be the biggest race in the country outside the national scene

Could even be bigger than some nationals.

MK is where it's at tomorrow

Because of the delays (and needing to get the boy home at a reasonable hour because it's a school night) I couldn't stay for the finals.

Who made the finals?  Who won?

[Moschops]

Lee Baker killed it Mike, (although two crashes aided his result) I think at one point all 8 were either down or on the grass, his final ran at 6.30 only 45 mins later than last year.

If we hadn't of had the air Ambulance and a normal Ambulance attend the race we would have probably processed 37 more riders in the same amount of time as last year.

Sorry you missed it again bud

[dialledbikes]

No need to apologise Lee, it's not your fault that people crashed. 

I actually stayed until the end last year but didn't get home until nearly 9pm (bad traffic/road works on the M1) and didn't want to end up in the same situation this year.

Who made the 40-44 final?  Who won it?  That class was more stacked than the national at P'boro last weekend.

Such a shame the council won't let you beef the track up a bit Lee as I think some of the crashes could be avoided if the jumps and berms were a bit bigger cos there seemed to be a lot of people going too fast into corners and overshooting jumps.

[Moschops]

MK Track is not council owned or funded.

It is owned by the Parks Trust who are a charity, The site is deemed as a playround and there fore has so many saftey constraints arround it it's almost impossible for them to consider alterations

After years of just re-surfacing some of the jumps have lost their shape, I could probably get a re-shaping programme sorted but that would be it.

There is also the issue of it being underwater for 4 months a year no one is interested in investing money on that site.

The plans for the new track in the "centre of cycling excerlence" still plod on, maybe one day it will come to fruission and we will have a International standard track.

I have little sympathy for those that claim the track is the wrong shape for the speed they were doing, a poor workman blames his tools.
Didn't see any of my club members over shooting anything, MK has lots of flat areas and this probably caught people out, riders are able to gain a lot more speed here than on other tracks and our track makes you feel like you are going slower than you actualy are.

Crashin is Racin...  Nothing to do with the track.

Competitive racing causes crashes end of.   

Think the 40-45 was won by Jon Moore who was creaming it all day. Think Bernie was 2nd/3rd and Kev Ranscombe was in there somewhere too.

Billy tried to upstage them in the B final with a full 360 front Flip but forgot to stay on the bike.

The Payback was mental -  two crashed on the start hill, few more after the second turn was a 3 man sprint for the Line.  Think Tre Whyte got it but couldnt be sure.

Top Day guys, said hello to a few faces but just so i can put names to faces.  Who was the starter who ribbed me about clips and the call up guy in the hi viz top who commented on my Paint job? (Orange Dialled)

Still buzzing from such a brilliant day.

oh and RIP The Southern OSS...  first Regional for years without a rider 

but thats progress.

[oldmankev]

I was in there somewhere Simon at the back lol, Matt was 7th  Phil was 6th
Jon won and the rest were Bernie, Tony, Mark L, and the guy on the FA, dont
know the placings though.

[MOORO]

40 + Pretty sure Paul Maidment came 2nd ,Powerful Peterborough guy (even his handshake made me wince    )

Don't think about it, just do it!  You'll catch the bug full and proper after your first moto.

She does like the sunshine.. look out for the starburst powders from Roseys.  Mine is Candy Orange Starburst.

The guy in the helicopter was CHRISTOPHE LASSERRE who also took a nasty one at the last regional at Dagenham.  Dont suppose we will see him again this year, last i heard was a broken hip or pelvis.

And get well soon Billy.

Have a look on my facebook profile page Mike there`s a vid of it, but basicly I totally overdid it on the triples on the 3rd straight and nose dived T J Baldwin style straight over the bars, it could have been a lot worse but for my body armour and elbow/knee pads, however when I got up this morning my left wrist was much more swollon than yesterday and bloody hurting a lot too, so I poped up to A&E after dropping the girls at school and I`ve fractured my left schophiod (sp)
