<description><![CDATA[I thought that they may be lacking abit of space for a world cup, but I'm sure that when the event goes ahead we'll be pleasently suprised at how it turns out.  I rather Dalby than fort Bill, more variety in the course and much less of a bit*h to get too!  Stroll On!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'd luv to see our racing like that.  I think the first step would be to improve spectator numbers.  I think if the organisers put posters up weeks before the event goes ahead, we'll get outside of the sport spectators all wanting to see a spectacle.  However, I think that if it was advertised a few quid to get in, rather than free, then potential spectators will think that they are paying to see something worth watching!  After all, quite often we have commonwealth games gold and silver medalists going head to head......I think that would be worth £3 a car to get in!?!?  Once the series is generating regular outside spectators, then sponsors have a reason to advertise, and also the bigger the spectacle for TV coverage!  I think it would be money well spent to get a few hundred A4 posters printed before the start of every season, and put around the local towns for every round!  Loads of people own a bike and even more people have nothing to do, but they cant make the decision as to weather or not they are going to watch the 'British Mountain Bike Series this weekend' if they dont know its there in the first place! <img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" border=0 /><br/><em>edited by XCWilliams on 8/13/2009</em>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Im thinking of converting to tubeless or even tubs from tubes and I have to say im not convinced by either method yet, tubs require a lot of money as id HAVE to get carbon wheels <img src="images/smilies/wink.gif" border=0 /> (this would not please the wife!) but then tubeless... I dunno... I keep hearing too many moans about them, which tyres go on which rims with what sealant?!?!  ARGGHH!  And are they easy to get on the rim?  Can you use a cannister to inflate?  So many questions unanswered and so complicated!!!<br/><br/>...maybe i should just stick to old fashioned tubes!?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I think that is a dissapointing result for Ruby. She started 7th on the grid and there were only 22 people finished all 5 laps!<br/><br/>I have a view that ruby is very talented and yet when racing in the UK the strentgh of ladies racing is so weak that she often races alone or with only one or two competitors. Unless BC get her racing the domestic races at Elite level she will never get the competition she needs and will waste 2 years in the Juniors. Then when she goes to any International races it will be a shock. We'll end up losing her to Track and Road........Or is that BC's masterplan?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There is something not too dissimilar in Wales this year called the Slick N Knobbly, it sounds like a good concept and could be a great day racing. i'd like to know more about it. Probably needs to be a spring/summer event because of the road section. Could make a great challenge event (road v XC)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I don't think the sport really wants to sort out the problem. Every year the Tour starts and we all wait. Already this year there is speculation that several Rabobank team riders have given testament recently on a case. Why would they be testifying?? If anything is uncovered I geuss Rabobank with withdraw them. And so it starts.....]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How about an event (possibly in Wales, Corby, if your watching?) that combines the elements of our sport that seem to be getting closer together with riders switching between codes all the time. You don't see many modern DH riders doing XC seriously or Vice Versa but there are loads of roadies doing XC and MTB'ers doing Road. How about a triathlon event. Start with a short course XC race (1hr), spectator friendly up and down, in and out course, transition onto road bikes for 50K road race or Crit type course, and finishing with a 50k Enduro. Would you get big fields, could it attract sponsors and good prizes?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Do you think it would be an ending for Lance? He wants to make millions for his charity, I could see him doing another before turning to politics and becoming Texan Governor. Basso has no hope, Menchev will get kicked off. Hushovd is never going to beat Mancman in a sprint.<br/>At this rate it could be a 1-5 of Astana riders unless they get off the fence.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Yeh I think Lee did great on that course. In my view it isn't a course that lives up to it's hype. It does attract numbers though, except on Sunday when everyone seemed to desert and leave quite a small entry to contend the English Marathon Champs. Now that race looked a killer!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Still need to get more people at the Welsh events, the courses are usually great when compared to many of the english courses. Better publicity of the events next year and earlier notification to ensure it gets in the diary will be good. I think corby is looking to grow the Dragon series and launch a winter series so it could be fun.]]></description>

I thought those O'Boyle boys were downhill nuts?<br/>Good day though and definitely another course in keeping with the Welsh Series. It certainly wasn't a Sherwood!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[On the practise laps picking my lines I thought there where a few bits that I couldn't get to flow, but race day at race pace the course was much better.  Realy had to work the bike at all times, last few laps I was just hanging on.  <img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" border=0 />  Realy pleased with the season so far, hoping I can keep form for the Nationals now, but generally the race you realy want to have a good result in nothing goes to plan.  Thanks for the support tho guys!  <img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" border=0 />]]></description>
