The Beastway series held at the Eastway cycle circuit is a sure sign of summer arriving. Held over 12 weeks from May to August it attracts 200 mtbers every Wednesday evening to do battle on a purpose built off road circuit. All categories compete from Juveniles to Novice to Experts including a fantastic women's race each week with results counting to a final end of series position. The series has been running as long as we can remember and Addiscombe, being one of the top off road clubs in the South East have been helping out since the beginning. On July 25th we promoted a round and the pictures below try to give you an idea of what goes on. Bolts's page of Beastway pictures
Agreeables Ron, Bob and club president Joyce all came out to help, bringing their handy car boot canteen gadgets with them.
Loads more Agreeables turned up to help including Jason, Joe, Eileen, Linda, Maria, Mark D, Monty, Robe RE, Sylvain, Martin, Peter K, John W & Chris W.
On the start line...
...the experts set off
Followed by the masters (30+) men
And the veteran (40+) men
The sports men field is always the biggest
Beastway
always gets a really exciting women's competition every week
and they even run a novice race to introduce people into racing
The youths and juveniles race for about 40 minutes
Addiscombe President Joyce was in the middle of the action. Two riders fell at her feet, one had a suspected busted wrist and another had the stuffing knocked out of him. Hopefully they will both be ok to race another day
Ouch. A busted set of Pace forks. Luckily for this rider there is a Pace recall so he should get a replacement pair. Luckier still he wasn't injured when they snapped.
John Webb is a hard man. His seat fell off on the last lap and kept on racing. Did the St Johns ambulance crew have any Anusol?
Winner of the juvenile men's category, Alan Lewsey was pleased to get his first win.
These Agreeable promotions often seem to end up in the pub: Eileen, Sylvain, Martin, Adam, Jason, Peter A, Tiffany, Bolts, Lucinda. |
