Clashes with Transwales one of the old time venues
Night before travelling to Transwales, should make it.
Should be a good new venue
West Lodge Rural Centre for the Plumz race, Brownies the man and we should all be helping in some way on the night.
Damn - clashes with mayhem weekend again, wish they wouldnt do that.

From Neil Holman It is that time of year again. I will be organising a meeting on Monday 18th February at the Stag's Head, Maidwell, just off the A14. Meeting will start at 7.30pm to set out dates etc etc. I think, how the calendar pan's out, we ought to have these dates: Missing May 2nd and starting May 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th June 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th, July 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th, August 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th. If you already have a date in mind or booked, please let me know. I personally don't have a 100% guaranteed opening venue yet, I am now looking at Wakely Woods, out near the A47, as there are now MTB routes in there, an orienteering course and lots of other tracks. I am still hoping to get Brixworth Country Park as the final event venue, but won't know until after the meeting date.
Bulwick estates, a fairly flat course round the estate woods and tracks. On the Stamford side of Corby.

Second Attempt. Paul would obviously accept any help anyone can offer. Look out for set up rides before hand, possibly Tuesday or Wednesday.

re-scheduled after the downpour cancellations
 With all this broken body end of year rubbish I missed the chance to do a bit of trumpet blowing, and quite frankly I need cheering up, so here goes. The year of the Rockies meant some quite stupidly long training with me entering every multi-day or long event going. This quite often involved racing FNSS, Sat XC and Sunday Enduro.
One benefit of all this was the form of my life, well early season anyway and some amazing rides in Spain and on a Welsh 6 dayer when I did feel Immortal at times. Shame it never quite felt like that at the Rockies but we pulled through. This was also the year I snapped my first frame, and my first bone on a bike as it turned out; 9998 miles and out
So the numbers were;
11 wins :- FNSS, mbXC, Numerous Trailquest’s.
2nd twice
3rd 3 times
Thetford Winter series 2hr – 2nd Overall
Friday Night Summer Series Champ
Midlands mbXC Series Champ
King of the Hills Isle of Wight
Rockingham Forest Wheelers Hill Climb Winner
TransRockies 5th Overall with 3rd Final stage, Invemere to Panorama
As part of a racing plan it’s a good idea to have race and training goals, how did I do on that front then?
 Finish the Rockies, Top 10 would be nice.
- Win FNSS at 4th year of trying.
 D2D podium for 3rd year. (foolishly never entered, it was waiting for us)
- Top 15 in National vets race. (got 8th at Margam for best ever finish)
 No injuries…….so so close.
 4or5 day Epic training trip. (6 days in Wales ticked that off big time)
So thinking cap on for 2007 then; No 1 is getting fit of course. What’s yours?

I would like to call an organisers meeting on Monday 5th February 2007 at the Stag's Head, Maidwell (On the A508 between Mkt.Harb & Northampton) at 7.30pm If you have a nominated date, please let me know ASAP
While half the county was under water or in darkness we rode out to Irchester for a play and look.
All I can say is - Ducks on Ice. The rock hard bone dryed out mud has set the same shape as the muddy puddles it usually is, so loads of ruts and funny mud shapes.
Then a coating of rain on top made for some impossible grip conditions, might as well have had slicks on an ice rink.
Fridays forecast is more of the same so could be very interesting.
The weak and poor skilled will be crushed, and very likely stung too!
