In! Few spots still left in B.

Now to dust off the bike. Should I be training?

RobFowl

Spots selling out fast

Get in

wanderer 22

In. 5 spots left.

Alek

No CI license this year, will need to hunt for individual entries...

lennymc

(tounge firmly in cheek!) : )
(and the admin reason makes sense)

coach22

can somebody help me on a few questions please? i am thinking of trying a few races:



thanks in advance!

do i need to be a cycling Ireland member?
No - you can get individual on the day entries
Is there a race for guys who havent raced before (such as a b race)?
yes*
It can also be full of people on CX bikes who are quite good
Where do i find a calendar of races and where do I enter?
http://www.cyclingireland.ie/page/events/events-calendar-2016/competitive-bmx-off-road-and-track
Has anyone any recommendations for a race that would suit a beginner? I am based in Kildare.
There are hopefully some races in Punchestown coming up
I have watched a few race videos, are those normal cycling shoes or something specific to cyclocross?
spds
Do I just turn up in with a functioning bike, helmet, licence and race or is there anything else i require?
pretty much. Some races are very popular and can dictate a requirement for a CX bike and other events will allow MTB in their B races.

Well I am sure you will all be relieved to know that Lenny and Rob are in.

Wonder what the odds are that Lenny will have his ass handed to him in 4/4 races?

All I can say to Lenny is, sorry Drawda boy but your ass is grass .....

lennymc

I have no doubt that my ass will be handed to me in 4/4 races, but it's not gonna be by you. My ass will be the least of your concerns when you are face down in the mud! Vcb - veritable cry babies.

I have no doubt that Lenny will need a new Rear Derailleur in 8/4 races.

Your ass would need to be forklifted to you! You leave Rob alone!

Hold on, judging by the responses to MD1983, you don't need a racing licence for CX racing, or have I got that wrong?

wanderer 22

Fairly certain you need a Limited Competition licence at the least .

Alek

In the last years you could get a one day license, as far as I remember...

You don't need a full road racing licence but you do need either a limited competition licence or a one day licence.

Weepsie

Hmm, probably for the best I don't upgrade this year so. Hard enough getting the new wheels in the door without noticing, not sure I could explain a CX bike unless I sold another or we got a house.

lennymc

in order to completely demoralise robfowl and repeatedly cycle away from him I am going to need to do something with my brakes on the cx bike. Rim brakes, running carbon wheel, with cr@ppy cantis. What canti's are people using that they would recommend.

lennymc

ended up buying the br cx70 brakes cos I'm impatient.

I run crappy cantis too but thankfully I rarely use them.
I plan to continue to avoid using them but if I do you can watch and see how well they work from behind (for the first lap of two, after that I will be disappearing into the distance).

lennymc

it is with great regret that we announce the passing (by lenny) of robfowl as he tried to win.

If you win you get a Belgian cap
What if I win?
This has gone beyond mere money, you need to put up something more cross like.....

lennymc

If you win I'll get you a Belgian waffle.
