Change of date for the first Eastway meeting 2. Thruxton, Eastway #1, Preston and Milton Keynes are Saturdays 3. We will be enforcing Rule Number One, viz. machines must not have any sharp sticky-out bits, most notably at the front. This includes chainrings, which is another way of saying that any machine with its chainset out the front must have a chainguard, including those with a single chainring. Competitors who fail to equip their machinery thus will get a yellow card; a second yellow card will mean you will not be permitted to compete. As long as you don’t use ridiculously huge chainrings, suitable items are available from HPV-Heaven or your friendly neighbourhood HP Velotechnik dealer - Kinetics and Bikefix. 4. We will also be coming down hard on those committing the crime of Lack of Visible Numbers. You have been warned! 5. We also STRONGLY recommend that those on unfaired bikes use elbow guards, and that everyone has a rear-view mirror.

At the time of writing, the classes at the Worlds are full-faired and not-fully-faired. The latter 4 basically means one can get in without moving any part of the fairing, and is proving rather unpopular with the hordes of tail-faired low racer owners that make up the majority of the entry of this event, and rightly so in my not-so-humble opinion. Otherwise one could take a machine like Dean Peterson’s Rotator Coyote (below), remove the side-screens and be in the same class as someone on an unfaired bike… Unrace Events BHPC Unrace Event · June 19th & 20th The Old Crown Challenge A gentle potter from Durham to Hesket Newmarket, Cumbria, returning the following day.

  • Explore the Most Interesting Islands on Earth
    GALÁPAGOS EXPLORE THE MOST INTERESTING ISLANDS ON EARTH FREE AIR ON SELECT DATES ABOARD NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ISLANDER AND NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ENDEAVOUR II | 2018-2020 TM DEAR TRAVELER, Galápagos straddles the equator, is mercifully absent of hurricanes and cyclones, and fluctuates little weather-wise throughout the year. The animals are always there for us to observe up-close and personally. It is a geography that’s infinitely compelling, something you already know from countless magazine articles, nature programs, documentaries and more. But what you might not know is that it is the preeminent, guaranteed, slam-dunk vacation option for families. It offers something for everyone. And even better, it offers so much for families to share—it’s where meaningful memories get made together. Galápagos attracts, at least with us, a very diverse audience, driven largely by times when families travel and don’t. (See the chart at bottom right.) So, while Galápagos is always in season as far as wildlife and wonder are concerned, there are very distinct times to be there based on your preference in travel companions. If you don’t like the pitter patter of children’s feet, you can plan to visit when they’re absent. And if you are planning to explore as a family, and want other kids around, you can rely on the fact that we understand how to meet needs and create opportunities for kids of all ages. We’ve been at this for a very long time, ever since my father pioneered travel here in 1966. Galápagos is a very special place, and we are totally committed to ensuring that our guests get the most out of their time here.

One of our goals is to help individuals understand what to look for as a baby grows and develops. Another goal is to aid in understanding that infants’ and toddlers’ natural learning patterns and abilities can be nurtured in everyday activities occurring in a home or childcare setting. Young children’s learning comes from discoveries they make on their own under the guidance of caring adults rather than from structured lessons. Suggestions are provided for caregivers, which includes parents and early childhood professionals, for interacting with infants and toddlers, organizing the environment so it supports their learning, and responding to their individual differences.
