🚴♀️ Week 15 Racing Alert! 🚴♂️
Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve arrived at the thrilling Week 15 of our action-packed season, and it’s going to be a racing extravaganza! This week, we have not one but two exciting events lined up to keep the excitement soaring.
🏆 The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived—the Elimination Championships! It’s the last championship race of the season, and the competition will be fiercer than ever. Watch as riders battle it out, using strategy and determination to avoid elimination with each passing lap. Who will rise to the top and claim victory? You won’t want to miss this epic showdown!
🎉 But that’s not all! Brace yourselves for the Belgian Win-n-Out race. It’s a captivating event where riders compete over 8 intense laps. When the bell rings with 4 laps to go, the stakes get higher—every lap counts! The first rider across the line on the next lap secures fourth place, followed by the first rider on the next lap taking third place, the first rider on the bell lap secures second. The rest of the pack fight out for 1st, after that the placings start from 5th depending of finish position over the line. It’s a daring game of strategy and nerve, as the wait for the win might not always pay off. A true spectacle that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat!
🙋♂️ Speaking of wins, we have a special call-out to those who haven’t volunteered this season. Now is the time to step up and be part of the heart and soul of our racing community. We all need to do our bit to keep the league running and ensure these fantastic events continue to thrive. If you haven’t volunteered yet, don’t miss this chance to make a difference and be part of something incredible.
🌧️ Please note that there’s a chance of rain this week. We’ll be closely monitoring the weather, and I’ll do a post at 17:00 on Wednesday to confirm if the event is on or not. Stay tuned for updates, and keep your fingers crossed for clear skies!
As we gear up for Week 15, let’s come together to celebrate the thrilling Elimination Championships and the daring Belgian Win-n-Out race. It’s a week of unforgettable moments, spirited competition, and the incredible spirit of camaraderie that makes our racing community truly special.

🌊🏁 Summer Crits Race Number 4: Barry the Seagull’s Remarkable Journey 🏁🌊
In the heart of the summer, as the sun shines brightly upon the South Coast, the adrenaline-fueled Summer Crits races have been captivating spectators and participants alike. The races are known for their thrilling competitions and intense rivalries, but there’s one story that stands out amidst the screeching tires and cheering crowds. It’s the tale of Barry the Seagull, who found himself in an unexpected and heartwarming journey.
During the third car race of the season, held on the picturesque coastal track, a shocking incident occurred. Barry the Seagull, a well-known and mischievous character in the area, accidentally found himself caught up in the action. As the bikes whizzed past at astonishing speeds, Barry misjudged the trajectory and got in the way of a passing racer. The unfortunate collision left him with a broken wing, unable to fly and in desperate need of help.
News of Barry’s accident quickly spread throughout the region, tugging at the heartstrings of locals who had grown fond of his cheeky antics. Thankfully, the South Coast and East Sussex Bird/Gull Volunteer Network swiftly came to his rescue. These compassionate volunteers, dedicated to the welfare of our feathered friends, took immediate action to aid Barry in his time of need.
Barry was carefully transported to Saltdean, a tranquil coastal town where he could recuperate and receive the specialized care he required. Under the watchful eye of the devoted volunteers, his broken wing was expertly treated, and he was provided with a safe and nurturing environment to rest and recover.
Saltdean will become a haven for Barry during this challenging period. The town’s picturesque cliffs and serene beaches offered a peaceful backdrop for his healing journey. Local residents will be captivated by Barry’s story, rally together to support him, bringing him fresh fish and providing comfort and encouragement during his recovery.
Days may turn into weeks, and Barry will gradually regain his strength, thanks to the tireless efforts of the South Coast and East Sussex Bird/Gull Volunteer Network. Their commitment to wildlife conservation and rehabilitation will ensure that Barry will receive the best care possible, allowing him to overcome his injuries and prepare for his eventual return to the wild.
The Summer Crits races will always be remembered for their intense competition, but it was Barry the Seagull’s story that captured the true spirit of compassion and unity. His journey will remind us of the importance of looking out for one another, no matter how different we may be. So, as the summer sun continues to shine upon the South Coast, let’s cherish the memories of Barry’s remarkable adventure and carry his legacy of kindness forward.

Healthy(ish) entries for Fridays three races now, but very little in the way of marshals and/or judges and/or sign-on volunteers.
Kudos to those of you who have stepped up to help out. Do remember that we won’t run half a schedule (i.e. all races need cover or we don’t run the event at all).
** We already changed judging/sign-on so that you can just cover one race if needed **
Sign up for marshal spots here and judging/sign-on here.
Update after entries close at 7pm.
